Why should your company become a Corporate Member?
Never in its history has Indiana Probation experienced such monumental and progressive change as it has just in the last few years. Probation Officer personnel have nearly doubled since 1993 in a statewide effort to meet workload demands; departments are now more than ever looking toward advanced technologies and other means to improve and augment offender monitoring & supervision strategies; departments are reaching out to a vast array of companies who offer competitive, cost-effective, and reliable programs and services for both adult and juvenile offenders.
Our statement of purpose: to “support, promote, and encourage quality probation services in the interests of public safety and service to the Courts of the State of Indiana.” Toward this end, the Executive Board of the Association and the general membership believe our efforts can be greatly enhanced through strong partnerships by way of Corporate Members.
It makes sense to affiliate with the only professional association that represents over 1000 probation officers and probation departments from every county in Indiana. Corporate Membership in POPAI represents your gateway to marketing your products, programs, and services to our membership!
How active is our association at promoting quality probation services in Indiana?
- We created and continue to host the Annual Chief Probation Officer Summit and Management Institute in Indianapolis during the Spring of each year, and have done so since 1998.
- We created and continue to provide the Annual Fall Probation Services Training Conference. This has been our association’s primary education/training event since 1996.
- We established a $1000 scholarship opportunity in 1998 for members to pursue further education. In 2013 the scholarship was increased to $2,500.
- We are affiliate members of the American Probation and Parole Association and have developed partnerships in their education/training opportunities.
What benefits are offered to Corporate Members for their annual membership fee?
Benefits vary according to the level of Sponsorship. Our Training Coordinator will work with the tiers based on feedback from 2024 and we will announce 2025 in January.
