ON THE COVER

History of the Monroe County Courthouse The first courthouse in Monroe County was a temporary log cabin built by Samuel Elliot in

August 1818 and was located on a portion of the same square that contains the current

courthouse. The cost of the single-floor two-room cabin was not to exceed $400. In 1826, the

small log cabin courthouse was replaced by a second brick building with a stone foundation.

The second courthouse was expanded and remodeled in the 1850s and again in the 1870s.

In 1908, the second courthouse was replaced with a newly constructed stone building

designed by architects Wing and Mahurin. Its domed structure constructed from Indiana

limestone has a weathervane, a large copper fish with a golden hue, which has become its

oldest and most popular feature. The building’s Beaux-Arts architectural style was very

popular in the United States from 1880 to 1920. Two artists, Molnar and Brand, also made

significant contributions to the embellishment of the courthouse. Brand contributed ten

murals, the stained-glass dome, and a large stained-glass window featuring a bald eagle that

can be found on the second-level landing. Many statues and plaques can be found throughout

the grounds of the courthouse in remembrance of battle scenes from the Mexican War, Civil

War, Spanish-American War, and World War I.

The domed courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1976 and

underwent extensive renovations in 1984. The courthouse and its lawn of monuments

remain the focal point for Bloomington and Monroe County. In 1985 the Monroe County

Justice Building was constructed just north of the courthouse. The Justice Building now

houses the courts and other criminal justice agencies in Monroe County.

INTRODUCTION

Administrative Rule 1(C) of the Indiana Rules

of Court requires all probation departments

to report to the Indiana Office of Court

Services (IOCS) the information required by

Indiana Code 11-13-1-4. IOCS compiles

information from these individual reports

and publishes the annual Indiana Probation

Report. For 2018, the report incorporates the

summary and the individual court and county

statistics in one volume. The report

represents workload data and an overview of

funds expended on probation services in

Indiana. Also included within the Probation

Report is the Juvenile Law Services Report,

which provides demographic and financial

information related to juvenile law services

provided to delinquent children as required

by Indiana Code 31-31-10-2.

The report provides, in graphic format, a

statewide view of the workload of Indiana’s

probation departments, information about

probation personnel expenses, and

restitution collected over a ten-year period. In

2012, the juvenile demographic statistics

reported per the guidelines established by the

Federal Office of Management and Budget

were expanded. As a result, this expansion

included additional age, race, and totals by

ethnicity. Thus, the section on demographics

will not have a 10-year comparison as in past

years. The Probation Report also provides

detailed information for 2018 broken down

by individual department and county.

The information compiled in this report

would not be possible without the

cooperation and contribution of Indiana’s

probation officers and their staff.

The Organization and Structure of Probation Services in Indiana Probation services in Indiana fall within the

jurisdiction of the judiciary; the probationer

remains under court jurisdiction until the

term of probation is complete. Probation

officers are trial court employees and are

subject to the appointment and supervisory

power of the courts they serve. By contrast,

parole services are provided by the

Department of Correction, an executive

branch agency.

The Judicial Conference of Indiana

(Conference), chaired by the Chief Justice,

sets guidelines and standards for

qualification, provides training, administers

licensing tests, and certifies probation

officers. By statute, the Conference is also

authorized to set minimum compensation

schedules for probation officers.

In addition, the Conference sets certain

policies, such as probation departments’ use

of actuarial risk and needs assessments for

court-involved adults and juveniles.

Probation officers administer the Indiana

Youth Assessment System (IYAS) for

juveniles and the Indiana Risk Assessment

System (IRAS) for adults. These assessments

are used to assist courts when making

detention and pretrial release decisions,

dispositional and sentencing decisions, and to

assist probation officers in developing

individualized case plans for probationers.


The Conference also administers the

Interstate Compact for the transfer of

supervision of adult and juvenile

probationers in and out of Indiana and serves

as the intermediary for the return of juvenile

runaways, absconders, and escapees. In 2018,

1,647 probationers transferred into Indiana

and 2,042 probationers transferred out of

Indiana under the Interstate Compact.

Home Detention Since 1988, Indiana Code 35-38-2.5 has

authorized Indiana trial courts to order home

detention as a condition of probation for

criminal offenders. A trial court may order

the supervision of an offender’s home

detention be conducted by the probation

department for the court or a community

corrections program. The statute requires

that offenders ordered to home detention pay

a Home Detention Fee. As of January 1, 2018,

27 probation departments were supervising

adult and juvenile probationers through

home detention, either with or without

electronic monitoring. Community Correction

agencies also collect Home Detention User

Fees. Home detention user fees deposited

into the community corrections home

detention fund this year was $19,112,444 and

home detention user fees collected this year

by the probation department was $1,673,514.

Home detention supervisions are counted as

“Other” supervisions for purposes of this

report and are included in the aggregate

supervisions reflected in this volume. A

detailed report on Indiana’s home detention

program is available from the Indiana Courts

website at courts.in.gov/probation/2937.htm.

Funding of Probation Services As with other trial court operations, local

county revenues, derived primarily through

property taxes, fund probation services.

Depending on the size of the county and

budget, many courts include the court’s

probation functions within the operations

budget of the court itself. In the more

populous counties where the probation

offices are quite sizable, the probation office

prepares a separate budget for the local

funding authority. Counties that have

established and maintain juvenile detention

facilities reflect this substantial expenditure

as a probation expense.

Probation User Fees, adult and juvenile,

provide another significant funding source

for probation services. The user fees are paid

by probationers as part of the conditions of

probation and may be used by the courts to

provide probation services. Because many

counties do not have a separate probation

budget, non-personnel expenditures are

absorbed within the court’s expenditures,

making it impossible to derive a complete

picture of all probation-related expenditures.

This report does include probation personnel

positions, a range of compensation, and other

probation expenditures as the probation

departments have reported.

Probation officers and staff constitute the

largest segment of trial court personnel in

Indiana. During 2018, approximately 1,438

certified probation officers and

approximately 500 other employees provided

probation services throughout Indiana.

Summary of 2018 Caseload Data Beginning in 1996, Indiana’s probation

departments began mandatory use of a

probation supervision classification and

workload measures system. The statistical

information reflects the supervision levels of

probationers on supervision as of December

31, 2018.

The probation caseload information

presented in this report was reported to the

IOCS on a quarterly basis. It reflects the

number of adult and juvenile supervisions

pending at the beginning and end of the

calendar year, the number of supervisions

and referrals received, and the number of

supervisions and referrals closed during the

reporting year. The report also reflects

information about how the supervision was

terminated.

In 2018, there was an overall decrease of 1.9

percent in the number of new probation

supervisions. New juvenile supervisions were

down 669, a decrease of 6.3 percent. New

misdemeanor supervisions were down 2,230,

a decrease of 4.9 percent, while felony

supervisions increased by 1,172 or 3.3

percent. In the adult felony category, 36,763

persons were placed on probation during the

reporting year.

Along with the decrease in the number of new

supervisions received in 2018, the total

number of supervisions pending at the end of

the year also decreased from 2017. At the end

of 2018, Indiana probation departments were

supervising 124,155 adults and juveniles, a

decrease of 1.3 percent from the previous

year.

Summary of 2018 Fiscal Data The 2018 data indicates circuit and superior

courts spent $106,585,571 on the salaries of

probation officers and probation office staff.

The salary expenditure by the city and town

court probation departments was an

additional $2,001,746. This represents

approximately 33.2 percent of all

expenditures on the operation of the courts.

This amount, however, was partially offset by

the collection of probation user fees. In 2018,

$12,363,555 was collected statewide in adult

probation user fees and $438,044 in juvenile

user fees, for a total of $12,801,599

Many probationers are ordered to pay

restitution as a condition of probation. These

funds are collected and distributed to the

appropriate recipient by the clerk’s office or

the probation department. In 2018,

probationers paid a total of $7,918,746 in

restitution for distribution to aggrieved

parties.


Probation Report Definitions The following definitions will be used

throughout the 2018 Indiana Probation

Report.

Absconded - Persons who have left the

jurisdiction of the court without proper

authorization.

CHINS (Child in Need of Services) - Cases in

which a child is alleged to be “in need of

services” because the child's physical or

mental condition is seriously impaired or

endangered due to the inability, refusal, or

neglect of the child's parent, guardian, or

custodian to supply the child with

necessary food, clothing, shelter, medical

care, education, or supervision (Indiana

Code 31-34-1-1).

Delinquent or Non-Status Delinquent - A

child who has allegedly committed an offense

prior to attaining 18 years of age that would

be considered an offense if committed by an

adult (Indiana Code 31-37-1-2).

Interstate Received - Persons accepted for

supervision from other states, through the

Interstate Compact.

Intrastate Received - Persons accepted for

supervision from other counties in Indiana.

Post-Sentence Supervisions - Persons

ordered under supervision after conviction

and sentencing. Generally, post-sentence

supervisions represent convictions where the

entire sentence is suspended in favor of

probation only.

Predispositional Report (PDR) - Upon a

finding by a court that a child is a

delinquent child, Indiana Code 31-37-17-1

requires a probation officer or caseworker

to complete a predispositional report.

Predispositional reports contain (1) a

statement of the needs of the child for care,

treatment, rehabilitation, or placement; and

(2) a recommendation for the care,

treatment, rehabilitation, or placement of

the child.

Pre-Sentence Investigation (PSI) – Except

as provided in subsection (c) of Indiana

Code 35-38-1-8, a defendant convicted of a

felony may not be sentenced before a

written presentence report is prepared by a

probation officer. PSIs contain information

regarding the commission of the offense,

the defendant’s criminal, social,

employment, family, economic, education,

and personal histories. The PSI also

includes information regarding the victims

of the offense.

Referral - A probation department includes

in the referral category any allegation of

juvenile misconduct, whether it stems from

the police, parents, school, commercial

businesses, or other adults. Examples of

referrals include police reports of juvenile

misconduct, complaints of incorrigibility by a

parent, reports from a school as to truancy, or

allegations by a neighbor regarding

misconduct.


Split-Sentence Supervisions - Persons

ordered under supervision after serving a

commitment to the Department of Correction

or commitment to a local facility. These cases

are not counted until the convicted person is

released from the institution and is being

supervised by the probation department. The

category includes any sentence that is a

combination of confinement and probation

and almost always involves felony

convictions rather than misdemeanors,

although some misdemeanor convictions will

result in split sentences. The key to this

category is that the sentence involves a

period of commitment in a secure facility,

such as the Department of Correction,

Community Correction facilities, and

rehabilitation units, to be followed by

probation. An executed sentence to work

release followed by a period of probation

would also be considered a split sentence.

Status Delinquent - A juvenile who is

charged with committing an act that would

not be considered a crime if committed by an

adult, such as truancy, incorrigibility,

violations of curfew, and violations of Indiana

Code 7.1-5-7 (minors and alcoholic

beverages) (see Indiana Code 31-37-2-2 and

Indiana Code 31-37-2-7).

Supervision in Lieu of Prosecution -

Persons ordered under supervision as an

alternative to prosecution. If a court

determines that supervision is a better

alternative rather than actual prosecution for

a crime (generally misdemeanors), including

some sort of court-ordered treatment, the

probation department will report the

supervision in this category. There must be a

court order before any supervision is

reported in this category. Indiana Code 12-

23-5-1 permits this type of supervision when

the court “takes judicial notice of the fact that

proper early intervention, medical, advisory

or rehabilitative treatment of the defendant is

likely to decrease the defendant’s tendency to

engage in antisocial behavior.”

Juvenile Law Services Report Indiana Code 31-31-10-1 et seq. requires the

probation department of the juvenile court

to maintain information relating to

delinquent children and children in need of

services who receive juvenile law services,

and all financial information relating to each

juvenile law service.

The terms “juvenile law services” and “all

financial information” are not defined by

statute. For the purpose of complying with

the reporting requirements of the law, IOCS

and the Juvenile Justice Improvement

Committee of the Indiana Judicial

Conference (Committee) have defined the

terms.

“Juvenile law services” means: The filing

with a court of a JD (Juvenile Delinquent), JS

(Juvenile Status), or JM (Juvenile

Miscellaneous) case, as defined by Indiana

Administrative Rule 8. The interpretation of

case types in Indiana Administrative Rule 8

generally refers to the following:

JD - Cases in which a child is alleged to be

delinquent as a result of committing an act

prior to attaining 18 years of age that would

be considered an offense if committed by an

adult (Indiana Code 31-37-1-2).

JS - Cases in which a juvenile is charged with

committing an act that would not be

considered a crime if committed by an adult,

such as truancy, incorrigibility, violations of

curfew, and violations of Indiana Code 7.1-

5-7 (minors and alcoholic beverages) (see

Indiana Code 31-37-2-2 – Indiana Code 31-

37-2-7).

JM - Cases involving juvenile matters not

reflected in other categories, including court

approval of informal adjustments.

The financial information available to the

courts and to probation departments is

often limited to expenditures made through

court budgets. Expenditures made from the

county general fund could be made

available to the probation department and

the court if identified as such by the county

auditor. The bulk of the financial

information on children receiving “juvenile

law services” is collected and reported by

the Department of Child Services (DCS).

For purposes of this publication,

“reimbursement” is the amount of money

collected for programs from the sources

listed on the Semi-Annual Juvenile Law

Services Financial Information report.
