Agency Mission

The Division of Parole's mission is to create opportunities for offenders to become productive law-abiding members of the community, consistent with public safety. The Division is responsible for community supervision of parolees and offenders subject to post release supervision, investigation of alleged violations, violation of parolees when warranted and arranging services to help maintain parolees in the community. Parole is responsible for monitoring and supervising approximately 60,000 parolees.

Year-to-Year Change

The Executive recommends an All Funds increase of $770,500 or .4 percent. This represents an All Funds State Operations increase of $7,353,200 or 5 percent and an Aid to Localities decrease of $6,582,700 or 11.8 percent.

Legislative Changes

The Executive proposes to eliminate six staff positions within parole operations, with a commensurate reduction in funding of approximately $360,000. The Assembly recognizes the need to provide better surveillance and monitoring of violent offenders and restores these parole positions to enhance public safety.

The Assembly provides $1,000,000 for the supervision, monitoring and mandatory treatment of certain non-violent drug offenders.
