The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) is an international association composed of members from the United States, Canada and other countries actively involved with pretrial, probation, parole and community-based corrections, in both criminal and juvenile justice arenas. All levels of government including federal, state/provincial, local and tribal agencies are counted among its constituents. By taking the initiative, APPA has grown to become the voice for thousands of pretrial, probation and parole practitioners and providers of services including line staff, supervisors and administrators from both the public and private sectors. Educators, volunteers, victim service providers, concerned citizens and others with an interest in criminal and juvenile justice are also among APPA members.
APPA provides training and technical assistance including a journal, monographs and guidebooks, research, information clearinghouse services and advocacy for its constituents and constituent partners. Many of the county and state probation officers and management utilize APPA educational seminars. APPA presents twice annually, attracting 300-1000 community correction related employees.
Check In Systems supports the membership of APPA with discounts on the Probation Check In software line. Members can receive $100 off the first year software subscription.
