The 2025 Assembly Resolution 9, introduced by a group of Wisconsin Representatives, seeks to designate the week of July 21 to July 27, 2025, as Probation and Parole Agent Appreciation Week. This resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of probation and parole agents within the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, which has been serving the state since 1851. It highlights the critical role these agents play in enhancing public safety by supervising individuals on probation and parole, managing complex caseloads, and collaborating with community partners to facilitate positive behavioral changes among offenders.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of the 1,200 probation and parole agents currently working across 218 offices in Wisconsin, who collectively serve over 63,000 clients. By recognizing this week, the Assembly aims to honor the dedication and hard work of these professionals, who strive to hold individuals accountable while providing them with opportunities for successful reintegration into society.
