The Anchorage Probation Office is the largest in the state. There are fifty-one staff assigned to the office, including thirty-eight Adult Probation/Parole Officers, seven Criminal Justice Technicians, and four Office Assistants. The Anchorage Probation Office supervises offenders on probation/parole supervision for numerous types of offenses, with a primary focus of facilitating community safety and working with offenders to rehabilitate their behavior and reintegrate into the community. The Anchorage office also has specialized caseloads/units that are responsible for preparing presentence reports for the Superior Court, and addressing the special supervision needs of sex offender and mentally ill offenders.
