Everything we do affords clients the opportunity to change behavior while becoming pro-social members of society by impartially offering clients access to programs according to client centered supervision. We shall do this by serving clients through the implementation of court ordered conditions and services.
Each member of the Department shall work in a collaborative effort to initiate positive behavioral changes for our clients.
We believe:
We have the responsibility to provide the highest quality of supervision possible.
We should be responsive to the victims of crime.
Our responsibility is to hold the client accountable for their own individual actions.
That our primary role is to protect the public through the supervision of clients.
In the cooperation between ourselves and all other appropriate agencies involved in the Criminal Justice process.
In promoting and maintaining a positive, safe, and healthy work environment.
That local autonomy is the key element that has made the CSCD responsive, effective, and credible.

In October 2010, the Potter County CSCD in collaboration with and under the supervision of the judiciary, established Accountability Court which would later transition into the 181st Drug Court. Our Drug Court program utilizes a multi-disciplinary team approach by coordinating efforts of the judiciary, CSCD, district attorney, defense attorney, as well as other outside agencies like county mental health service providers and substance abuse counselors. The Drug Court Counselor facilitates processing groups rather than education groups. They also address the therapeutic responses during the Drug Court team meetings and serve as an advocate for continuum of care beyond the treatment continuum to include other community-based services. In 2019, the program was expanded once again to add a grant funded Drug Court Aftercare caseload. This program allows the Potter CSCD to maintain a critical balance of authority, supervision, support, and encouragement even after the client’s graduation from Drug Court.
