Probation reports three hires; mental‑health appointment policy changed to 'if directed'
Summary
Steuben County Probation announced three new hires—two Family Court officers and one Probation Assistant—reported caseloads around 40 per officer, and said it revised mental‑health attendance requirements from mandatory to 'if directed.'
Stephanie Clark, deputy director of Probation, told the subcommittee that the Probation Department hired three new staff: two Family Court officers and one Probation Assistant. She said typical staff caseloads are around 40 clients.
Clark said the department has updated its policy so that mental‑health appointments are required 'if directed' rather than mandatory for all probation clients. The change was presented as an operational update; the minutes do not record a vote or policy adoption beyond the departmental practice change.
