Commission proclaims July 2025 as Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week
Summary
Chairman Ryan Beatty and the Board proclaimed July 2025 as Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week; Mario Salinas and department staff described programs and success rates, and the commission approved the proclamation unanimously.
The Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners on July 16 proclaimed July 2025 as Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week. Chairman Ryan Beatty read the proclamation and moved to approve it "as read." The motion was seconded and approved by roll call, with commissioners voting unanimously in favor.
Mario Salinas, deputy director for the Department of Corrections, accepted the proclamation and introduced intensive supervision officers and staff who described the breadth of the county's community-corrections work — juvenile detention and shelter services, pretrial programs, drug court, veterans treatment court, evening reporting, and home-based supervision. Salinas summarized program outcomes, saying the juvenile side has "about a 75 percent success" rate and that of those, 93 percent do not commit future crimes, figures he presented as evidence of the programs' community impact.
Commissioners praised the behind-the-scenes work of community corrections and asked Salinas to provide a high-level summary of corrections roles to inform upcoming budget deliberations.
