        HONORING PRETRIAL, PROBATION AND PAROLE SUPERVISION WEEK

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 18, 2024

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Nation's community 
supervision professionals, who are dedicated public servants and 
perform many vital roles in their work with justice-involved adults and 
juveniles. Community supervision professionals identify opportunities 
and services to help justice-involved individuals contribute to 
society, while holding them accountable for their actions. They remain 
mindful of their role in protecting public safety.
  In honor of Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2024, we 
salute all those who have chosen this important career. In the District 
of Columbia, we especially thank the employees of the Court Services 
and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA) 
and the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) for 
their service. CSOSA and PSA are models of excellence in community 
supervision. The theme of Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision 
Week 2024 is ``Wellness Unveiled: Navigating the Journey.''
  Community supervision agencies are valuable partners of other 
government agencies, nonprofits, neighborhood-based groups and all who 
strive to make our Nation safer and stronger. We extend out gratitude 
to community supervision professionals and encourage all people to 
recognize their many achievements as we proclaim July 21-27, 2024, as 
Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2024.
