What the Division Does
The Division of Parole and Probation is part of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. Its job is to supervise people in the community and make sure they meet the conditions set by the courts and the Parole Commission. Statewide, its work includes:
- Supervising parolees, probationers and people on mandatory release
- Pre-sentence investigations for the courts
- Drinking driver monitoring
- Home detention monitoring
Drinking Driver Monitor Program
The Drinking Driver Monitor Program is separate from criminal supervision and covers people charged with drunk or impaired driving, almost all of them referred by the courts. Monitors give breath tests, confirm attendance at treatment or self-help meetings, check employment, collect supervision fees and restitution, and report on compliance to the courts and the Motor Vehicle Administration. The program dates to 1984 and has been run by the Division since 1986.
If you have been ordered to report to this office, calling ahead is the simplest way to confirm what to bring.
