Probation department reports five recent resignations, ongoing hiring and budget submissions
Summary
Department leaders told the circuit meeting they have had five resignations across counties, have filled two positions, continue to recruit for several vacancies, and are submitting county budgets to local boards this month.
During the meeting staff reported five resignations in recent months across the circuit and described current recruitment and budget‑submission activity.
Staff said two of the vacancies were probation officer positions in Bureau County and that several resignations occurred in LaSalle County. The department has filled one Bureau County officer position and one LaSalle County officer position; several positions remain open, including some detention posts in LaSalle County. Clerical positions were reported as fully staffed. Staff said they will post the remaining openings and start interviews.
On budgets, staff said county budget packages have been prepared and submitted to local boards. The presenter said LaSalle County materials were presented to the county law and justice committee and that finance presentations are scheduled later in the month; staff expected the boards’ sign‑offs to be completed in the usual local schedule.
The topic was discussion only; no hiring motions or budget adoptions were recorded in the meeting minutes provided in the transcript. The presiding officer invited questions; none were raised beyond the staffing and budget status updates.
Staff also made a brief reference to ongoing state legislation ("the Safety Act") as an item under general legislative tracking; no county action or position was recorded at the meeting.
