                         Tuesday, July 12, 2022

  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the nation's community 
supervision professionals and the many vital roles they play in their 
work with justice-involved adults and juveniles. They identify 
opportunities and services to help individuals contribute to society, 
while, at the same time, holding them accountable for their actions.
  In honor of Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2022, we 
salute all of those who have chosen this important career. In the 
District of Columbia, we especially thank the Court Services and 
Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia and the 
Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia and their 
employees for their work. Their work reflects the theme of Pretrial, 
Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2022, ``Restoring Trust, Creating 
Hope.''
  As was the case last year, community supervision professionals have 
once again demonstrated great courage and resolve in continuing their 
work during the coronavirus pandemic. They have found innovative ways 
to remain connected with the people they supervise and to continue 
guiding them in the interest of public safety.
  Community supervision agencies are valuable partners of government 
agencies, non-profits, neighborhood-based groups, and all who strive to 
make our nation safer and stronger. We extend our gratitude to them and 
recognize their many achievements as we proclaim July 17-23, 2022, as 
Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2022.
