Allen County Community Corrections

:: Field Supervision

Purpose:
The Home Detention Field Division employs sworn law enforcement officers to enforce the criminal laws of the state of Indiana and to ensure public safety.  The purpose of this division is to ensure that the participant is in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Home Detention Program.

The Division monitors the daily activities of violent and non-violent participants who have been sentenced to the program for alternative sentencing.  If participants are found in violation of the program rules/regulations they could be remanded back to custody without bond pending a court appearance.

Home Detention Officers perform random unannounced visits at participant’s residence, place of employment, and pass locations.  They also conduct residential searches and conduct surveillance when necessary.  All contacts are documented on a “Field Note” and are recorded in the participant’s electronic file.

Officers communicate daily with the ACCC Dispatch Center and assist with technical emergencies that may arise with the participant’s field monitoring device.
