Probation reports steady caseloads, $1.2M combined budget request for supervision and teen court
Summary
Ashley Henry, Lake County's new Chief Probation Officer, said the office supervises both adult and juvenile cases (projected ~800 active defendants monthly), collected $450,000+ in supervision costs last year, and requested a combined FY27 budget just over $1.2M.
Ashley Henry, chief probation officer, outlined the role of county probation in supervision, rehabilitation and community safety; she said the office handled more than 26,000 court‑ordered contacts last year and facilitated over $63,000 in victim compensation. “Lake County charges $55 per month for supervision, and there is a 1 time $20 administrative fee for each case,” Henry said while describing standard collection practices.
Henry described staffing (16 full‑time positions), community partnerships including teen court and recovery organizations, performance metrics (78% successful completion rate), and a modest FY27 budget request (just over $1.2M combined for probation and teen court) that reflects staffing restructuring and wage adjustments.
