Summary
At a circuit-wide probation meeting in September, staff reported August juvenile and adult caseload totals for LaSalle, Bureau and Grundy counties and a year‑over‑year decline in total probationers.
At the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit probation meeting for September, probation staff presented August monthly and third‑quarter caseload totals showing fewer people on supervision than the prior year. Juvenile active caseload for the circuit was 126 (administrative cases, 10) and total juveniles on probation 136. Adult active caseload for the circuit was 750 (administrative cases, 510) and total adults on probation 1,260.
The juvenile totals by county were reported as: LaSalle County — 95 active cases and 8 administrative; Bureau County — 20 active and 1 administrative; Grundy County — 11 active and 1 administrative. The adult caseloads by county were reported as: LaSalle County — 493 active and 278 administrative; Bureau County — 116 active and 42 administrative; Grundy County — 141 active and 190 administrative.
Probation staff noted the circuit’s total on probation at the end of the third quarter was 1,260, down from 1,333 at the same point last year. The staff presentation covered both the single‑month (August) numbers and the quarter (June 1–Aug. 31) totals and invited questions; none were raised during the meeting.
The statistics were presented during the department reports portion of the meeting and were later accepted as part of the quarterly report when the membership voted to approve the financial and statistical materials.
The meeting did not record further analysis or specific policy changes tied to the caseload decline; staff discussion focused on reporting the numbers and moving to the financial and administrative items that followed.
