      RECOGNIZING THE NATION'S COMMUNITY SUPERVISION PROFESSIONALS

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 13, 2026

  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. They 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 2026, 
whose theme is ``Connected for Change: Building Bridges in 
Supervision,'' 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.
  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 our gratitude 
to community supervision professionals and recognize their many 
achievements as we proclaim July 19 through July 25, 2026, as Pretrial, 
Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2026.
