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.
