Research has shown that furthering one’s
education lessens the chance for reoffending. The Probation Department
has developed several in-house educational programs which have been
tailored to meet the needs of our offenders. The Thinking for a Change;
CHOICES and Anger Management programs are directed at people who have
not succeeded in more traditional behavior modification programs. All
classes are held in the Probation Department office for a nominal fee
or no fee at all. Registration is required. |

Community Service is a condition of probation that requires probationers to perform services without compensation for the benefit of the community. This sanction not only provides a service to the community but also enhances accountability and helps instill responsibility. Community Service is ordered by the Judge and is administered through the Probation Department. The Community Service Coordinator places probationers at a variety of work sites throughout Paulding County. The sites are either not-for-profit organizations or government agencies. The needs of the community as well as the skills of the probationer are considered when making placements. In some cases, probationers are permitted to perform community service outside of Paulding County, with the prior approval of the Probation Department. If a probationer fails to comply with the community service mandate, the case is brought back to court for a violation of probation hearing. |

Electronic Monitoring/House Arrest is an alternative to incarceration for probationers. This is an opportunity for offenders to experience incarceration at home so as not to jeopardize employment while supporting the goal of community protection. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Paulding County Court Probation will provide an Electronic Monitoring / House Arrest program for offenders who have been referred/approved by the courts. Offenders who meet the specific criteria will be required to adhere to a mandated schedule of electronically monitored home confinement which, through the use of equipment designed to track an offender’s movements in the community, will provide participating offenders the opportunity to experience incarceration within the home. No offender shall be denied access to the EMHA program on the basis of race, creed, national origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation. SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) Introduced on August 26, 2007, SCRAM offers the Court an additional sentencing option in lieu of jail. SCRAM provides 24/7/365 continuous, passive alcohol monitoring through the defendant’s skin. Up to 48 tests are run per day on the tamper-resistant SCRAM bracelet. The bracelet cannot be meddled with or removed without triggering a tamper alert.
