PURPOSE: 
 
The Addendum Funding Agreement for the Probation Success Incentive for FY2025 requires, on or 
before December 31, 2025, and annually thereafter, each adult probation department that receives 
incentive payments or grants pursuant to this section shall submit a written report to AOC and the 
County Board of Supervisors that accounts for incentive payments received and grants awarded and 
that evaluates the effectiveness of the program. Unfortunately, this report was delayed until the 
required data was available, which was after the calendar yearend deadline. 
 
Pursuant to A.R.S. §12-270, B. each county shall use its probation success incentive payment and any 
monies received from a statewide probation success incentive grant to improve supervision and 
rehabilitative services for probationers, including any of the following: 
 
1. Implementing and expanding evidence-based practices for risk and needs assessments for 
individualized programming. 
2. Implementing and expanding intermediate sanctions, including mandatory community 
restitution, home detention, day reporting, restorative justice programs and work furlough 
programs. 
3. Expanding the availability of evidence-based practices for rehabilitation programs, including drug 
and alcohol treatment, mental health treatment, anger management, cognitive behavior 
programs and job training and employment services. 
4. Recognizing and rewarding probation officers in adult probation departments whose work has 
advanced the implementation of evidence-based practices or who have contributed to the 
probation department's recidivism reduction efforts. 
5. Paying for continuing education and training that focuses on evidence-based practices for 
probation officers or probation staff, or both. 
6. Evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation and supervision programs and ensuring program

GRANT FUNDS AWARDED TO THE MARICOPA COUNTY ADULT PROBATION DEPARTMENT (MCAPD) FY2025: 
 
The MCAPD was awarded, from the Administrative Office of the Court (AOC), $378,145 on February 28,

USE OF FUNDS: 
 
The MCAPD has identified various opportunities for the use of the Probation Success Incentive Grand 
funds.  
In alignment with A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 1., the MCAPD supervises individuals placed on probation for 
sexual offenses. To assess individual risk and needs, incentive funds were used to purchase and train 
probation officers on software that allows officers to capture and review data from electronic devices 
seized from those under supervision. There is an annual subscription fee for use of this tool. Cellebrite 
computers and workstations were also purchased to run forensic phone searches for individuals on 
supervision – checking for probation violations and new criminal activity. Additionally, Probation and 
Parole Treatment Planners were purchased for staff to use as a resource when creating case plans for 
individuals under supervision.  
In alignment with A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 3., Trauma Healing Journals for Women were purchased for 
justice-involved women on probation. Additionally, a subscription for cloud meetings services were 
purchased to expand availability of online cognitive behavioral programs as well as individual and 
group counseling for drug treatment. 
Dedicated MCAPD staff were instrumental in positively impacting the probation success rates of 
supervised individuals. In alignment with A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 4., the MCAPD purchased and distributed 
polo shirts that align with the Department’s Professional Standards Policy. Staff members of the 
Department received a polo shirt, notebooks, power banks, and other items as recognition and 
reward for their work in advancing the implementation of evidence-based practices or contributing to 
the Department’s recidivism reduction efforts. The probation success incentive grant funds were used 
to fund these rewards for officers.  
The MCAPD is committed to the development of staff through continuing education and training. The 
probation success incentive funds were used in FY2025 to pay for continuing education and training 
that focused on evidence-based practices for probation officers and probation staff as outlined in 
A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 5. Funds were used to send probation officers and probation staff to trainings and 
conferences that focused on evidence-based practices across the community corrections field. Other 
trainings paid for by incentive funds as outlined in A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 5. include leadership training and 
books on leadership for new supervisors.    
In alignment with A.R.S. § 12-270 B. 6., the probation success incentive funds were used to pay for an 
independent program evaluation of the MCAPD’s Sex Offender Supervision Program which was 
conducted in FY2025. MCAPD is reviewing recommendations from this evaluation.
