The American Probation and Parole
Association (APPA) will host its 49th
Annual Training Institute at JW Marriott in
Indianapolis, Indiana from
June 28 – July
1. The event will feature the anticipated unveiling of the
National Standards for Community Supervision.
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- APPA is recognized as the
largest gathering for both juvenile and adult community corrections
officers in America. The sessions offered at APPA's training
institute will delve into challenging topics, share words of
encouragement, and celebrate success stories. The hybrid event
anticipates nearly 1,000 in-person attendees and hundreds of
virtual participants.
This training institute will be extraordinarily special because
attendees will witness a historical moment: the unveiling of
APPA's first ever National Standards for Community Supervision on
Saturday, June 29. The first parole
officer was appointed nearly 100 years ago; it is time! The
standards will guide community supervision agencies in
strengthening and improving services, policies, and practices. The
standards are meant to help ignite conversations and lead our field
to increased successes. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity, allowing attendees to say, "I was present in 2024
when the first ever national standards for community supervision
were published."
APPA would like to recognize and thank the National Institute of
Corrections for generously funding this work, the Crime and Justice
Institute for facilitating workgroup meetings, contributing to the
commentary, and consolidating workgroup feedback. The partners hope
this resource provides helpful guidance for the field and can be
revisited as research continues to inform evidence-based practices
for effective supervision in the community.
The Standards will be available for everyone on Saturday, June 29 through APPA's website.
