Since 1982 the Community Service Program has provided the justice system with an option for offenders to complete community service as an alternative to incarceration, offender accountability, and/or to justify a reduction in fines.  Every Community in Washington County has directly benefitted from this program as we have either completed projects utilizing our " work crew" that is supervised  by Alternative Sentencing Staff or by placement of individuals at not for profit organizations/governmental entities within your towns. We have found that community service is not only beneficial to our agency and worksites, but also to the participant.  It gives participants an opportunity to use their skills to make their own community a better place to live!
