County Probation

For misdemeanor offenses, Polk County’s Probation Division offers convicted defendants an alternative to jail cells. Staff members within the division monitor assigned defendants for compliance with their probation conditions. The division also performs several other functions, which include:

• Collecting victim restitution and supervision fees
• Referring probationers to counseling and resource agencies when necessary
• Assigning probationers community service hours to worksites in the county
• Overseeing court-ordered electronic monitoring of defendants

The division has branch offices in Lakeland and Winter Haven.
