We would like your help in congratulating two of parole’s outstanding staff for their dedication and excellence.👏🏽 🏆

Both of these agents manage specialized caseloads supervising individuals convicted of s*x offenses who are released onto parole supervision. This area of supervision requires specialized training, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to both accountability and public safety.

Bloomington Parole Agent II Shelly Adams-Brown was awarded the Lifetime SOMM Agent of the Year, recognizing her years of dedication and exceptional work in this specialized area of supervision.

Madison Parole Agent Leslie Humes was recently named the State of Indiana SOMM Agent of the Year, recognizing her outstanding work and commitment to effective supervision.

These recognitions are well deserved and reflect the professionalism and dedication both agents bring to the Division of Parole each day.

We are proud to have you both representing our Division. Please join us in congratulating Shelly and Leslie on these outstanding achievements! 👏🏽✨🏆

Today marks the completion of our three-week Parole Academy as 13 newly trained Parole Agents head back to their assigned districts and begin serving communities across Indiana.

Throughout the academy, they completed specialized training in areas including case management, youth supervision, s*x offender management, weapons, and scenario-based exercises designed to prepare them for the realities of the job.

Please join the Division of Parole Services in welcoming our newest Parole Agents! We congratulate each of you on this accomplishment and look forward to the positive impact you’ll make in the communities you serve. Congratulations, and best of luck as you begin this next chapter! 👏🏽

What a turn out! Parole participated in the 5th Annual IDOC Re-Entry Community Partnership Resource Fair during this week’s Case Management Conference. Community Partner Fairs are a great way to network and learn more about the diverse agencies to better assist those individuals returning to our communities.

Bringing together so many great agencies & even greater people, all working toward the same goal.✨

Congratulations to all those who participated in and graduated last Friday from the Indiana Department of Correction Peer Leadership Program! 👏🏽✨

Parole’s very own Jess Wagner, Peter Herzog, and Ryan Slanina were among the graduates! We’re proud to have you representing the Division of Parole Services so well.

The Peer Leadership Program is the only program offered to individuals who are not yet supervisors but are demonstrating strong potential to grow into leadership roles. Best of luck to each of you as you continue your journey toward becoming future leaders within the Indiana Department of Correction!

A special shoutout to Kristin Woods and Eduardo Tobon for stepping up as the first Peer Leadership Program Peer Coaches. This newly created role supports participants in developing their leadership skills throughout the week and helps facilitate key portions of the program, an incredible contribution to the success of this initiative—way to step up and lead the way! ✨👏🏽
