Probation is a proven, cost-effective utilization of taxpayers’ dollars within the criminal justice system to supervise offenders in the community as an alternative to incarceration. Probation services are mandated by New York State Executive Law Section 256 which provides for the establishment of county probation agencies.

Today’s probation officers find themselves performing many of the functions performed by their counterparts in the police and corrections services. Like police and other peace officers throughout the state, Putnam County probation officers are armed and trained in the use of weapons. Probation officers are also exposed daily to the risks and dangers involved in managing an increasingly high-risk and sometimes violent criminal population.

Probation officers in Putnam County provide a vital law enforcement element to the community’s public safety and comprise the main support function to our criminal justice system. Their duties involve them in virtually all phases of the criminal justice process. A probation officer is challenged to be a peace officer, case manager, and the investigative arm of the courts. Administratively, a probation officer is within the executive branch of government.

Probation officers are challenged to oversee the supervision and treatment of offenders, satisfy crime victims, be accountable to the public, monitor school and employment progress, conduct home visits, supervise resistant, high-risk offenders, administer drug/alcohol tests and be on call to duty as needed.

Probation officers must be thoroughly trained in such areas as chemical dependency, the law, sex offenses, child abuse, domestic violence, literacy, employment counseling, mental health, field and office safety, defensive tactics and crisis intervention. They must be familiar with the resources available in the community and must be able to effectively collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, as well as various rehabilitative organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Probation?

    Probation is an alternative to incarceration that allows certain offenders to live and work in the community, support their families, participate in counseling services and make restitution to the victims of their crimes. The ultimate goal of probation supervision is to protect the community, rehabilitate the offender and reduce crime.

    Probation is the most common sentence imposed by the courts in the United States, and probation officers supervise more offenders than the NYS Department of Corrections and Division of Parole combined.

  • How is Probation different from Parole?

    Although probation and parole officers share similar functions and responsibilities, there is a difference in the population they supervise. Probation is an alternative to incarceration, and though some defendants spend a short period of time in jail, at the beginning of their probation sentence, most remain free in the community. Parole officers, on the other hand, supervise individuals who have served a sentence and been released from the state prison system.

  • What are the powers of a Probation Officer?

    Probation Officers are designated as peace officers, holding powers similar to those of a police officer, but different. Probation officers have the power to arrest, even without a warrant if circumstances dictate. They also have the authority to search the person and property of an offender without a warrant to ensure compliance with conditions of probation. Some officers carry guns, others do not.

  • What is a defendant sentenced to Probation required to do?

    Depending on the circumstances surrounding their case, defendants may be required to: attend substance abuse, mental health or other types of counseling program; remain abstinent from alcohol and drugs; submit to drug and alcohol testing; abide by a curfew; pay restitution; remain employed or in school; drive with an ignition interlock device in their vehicle; or abide by other conditions that are related to their rehabilitation.

  • What happens if a probationer violates the terms of Probation?

    Several different factors are considered when a probationer violates the terms of supervision, including the seriousness of the violation and the history of the offender. Sanctions imposed can range from an increased level of supervision to revocation of the sentence and a period of incarceration.

Putnam Trailway Brochure

The Putnam Trailway is a paved bicycle/pedestrian path located primarily on right-of-way lands of the former Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. The “Old Put” as it was formerly referred to by commuters, provided freight and passenger service from 1881 to 1958 between the Bronx in New York City and Brewster in Putnam County. The Putnam Railroad once served 6 stations in Putnam County, some of which still stand today. Station stops included Brewster, Tilly Foster, Carmel, Crafts, Mahopac, Lake Mahopac and Baldwin Place. The Lake Mahopac station building is known today as the American Legion Post building on Bucks Hollow Road.

The Putnam Right-of-Way spans 12.0 linear miles through Putnam County, from the Westchester border at Baldwin Place to Brewster Village where it merged into the Harlem Line Tracks. At Baldwin Place, the Putnam Trailway connects to the North County Trailway, which continues south through Westchester County and into the Bronx to Marble Hill (225th Street). Two branch lines are in the trailway planning stages; one going from Lake Mahopac to Goldens Bridge, and the other from Baldwin Place to Mahopac Falls. For more information about the trailway system, call the Putnam County Department of Planning at (845) 878-3480 or write Putnam County Planning Department, 841 Fair Street, Carmel, NY 10512 or visit our web site at: www.putnamcountyny.com
