Supervised community service is ordered by the Court in certain traffic and criminal cases. It is an integral part of sentencing as it can be ordered in lieu of jail. It has a beneficial impact on the community as probationers must do something positive for the jurisdiction where their offense was committed.

In 2007, the Court probationers completed 10,338 man-hours of community service. The Court used probationers to  upgrade the landscaping at the new building and to move court records.  Previously, a majority of court records and files had been stored off-site.   Roy Golec, Community Service Supervisor, and Court staff supervised the probationers in the lengthy process of moving these records on-site.  Probationers continued to pick up trash, shovel snow, mow, and rake leaves in the area.  They also completed a project at Eastport Avenue, where they cleared out tires, trash and brush and placed down stones (see photos).

The Court also has a Diversion Program for underage drug and alcohol offenders. The program allows youthful offenders to complete drug and alcohol counseling and perform Community Service in lieu of conviction, allowing first time offenders a "second chance."
