Warren County Probation

Mission Statement

Director: Robert F. Iusi

The Mission of the Warren County Probation Department is to provide professional, cost effective intervention and service to adult and juvenile offenders that enable judicial systems to offer a community based rehabilitative program as an alternative to confinement.

Description of Services

• PINS(Persons In Need of Supervision)/JD(Juvenile Delinquent) Intake Diversion
