The 2025 Assembly Resolution 9, introduced by a group of Wisconsin Representatives, seeks to officially recognize the week of July 21 to July 27, 2025, as Probation and Parole Agent Appreciation Week. This resolution highlights the significant contributions of probation and parole agents within the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, which has been serving the state since 1851. It acknowledges 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. It recognizes their dedication to providing support and accountability to individuals under supervision, thereby contributing to the overall mission of the Department of Corrections to protect the public and promote successful reentry into society. By designating this week for appreciation, the Assembly aims to honor the hard work and commitment of these professionals in the criminal justice system.
