Livingston County Probation Department

Livingston County Probation Department Livingston County Probation is part of the 11th Judicial Circuit court and Officers serve locally by supervising offenders and providing various programs.

The Livingston County Probation Department provides juvenile and adult services. JUVENILE SERVICES
The Department provides juvenile intake screening. All police reports alleging commission of an offense by a minor are forwarded to Court Services. A Probation Officer meets with the minor and family and collects information from the victim, arresting Officer and other agencies to provide the State’s

Attorney with information so an appropriate prosecutorial decision can be made. An emphasis is placed on diverting appropriate minors from the court system into one of a continuum of voluntary programs that provide supervision and needed services to the minor/family/victim without court intervention, benefiting the public by conserving court resources for cases requiring that level of intervention. The Department also completes court ordered social investigations of those minors who have been formally charged and Adjudicated Delinquent and are facing sentencing. Probation Officers supervise all minors placed on Probation or Supervision by the Court. Referrals are made for needed medical and mental health services, organized recreation, job placement, educational services and any other services needed by the minor or family. Probation Officers act as a liaison between the Court and agencies to which minors are referred. Services and supervision are also provided for probationers of other jurisdictions who have become residents of Livingston County. ADULT SERVICES
The Department when ordered by the Court completes bond investigations and monitors adult offenders while pending charges. Additionally, Officers complete pre-sentence investigations of those defendants determined Guilty and facing felony sentencing. Officers also supervise some adults placed Court Supervision and Conditional Discharge, as well as all adults placed on Probation. Services and supervision are also provided for probationers from other jurisdictions who have become residents of Livingston County. The Department supervises all offenders who are required to complete community service by the Court, a directive of their Probation Officer to resolve a minor violation, or as part of a voluntary program to resolve a police contact. Livingston County Probation also provides Electronic Monitoring services (home confinement and alcohol monitoring) for offenders ordered monitored by the Court. REFERRAL PROCESS

Livingston County, IL - The Livingston County Health Department (L.C.H.D.) will be changing building hours effective December 22, 2025. The health department will now be open longer hours each week Mondays through Thursdays and will be closed to the public on Fridays. The Board of Health approved the change at its December 15th meeting.

Administrator Dr. Erin Fogarty explained that the new building hours will bring multiple benefits. Most importantly, the new hours will be more accommodating to the public, particularly for working families. Many of the health department’s clinic services have long been offered Monday through Thursday outside of the current 8:00 am. to 4:30 p.m. structure. These earlier and later appointments are often preferred times for people planning around work and school hours. This need was supported by the 2024 Livingston County Community Health Needs Assessment in which respondents indicated that weekdays during early mornings (prior to 8:00 a.m.) and later afternoons (after 4:00 p.m.) are the most convenient times for accessing services.

Fogarty also shared that the health department has minimal foot traffic on Fridays. “Keeping the building open for walk-in visits on Fridays, when the health department receives very few visitors, is not an efficient use of funds or resources. Demand for clinic services is significantly higher during the extended hours Monday through Thursday. Expanding building hours during those days more effectively aligns with community needs and current operations.” But while the building may be closed on Fridays, several health department services will continue to be offered on Fridays and weekends. Services provided in communities throughout Livingston County, such as home visiting programs, health education and outreach, and various environmental health services will continue to operate on days when the building is closed. “We want to ensure that we continue to be as accommodating as possible for our Livingston County businesses, schools, and individuals receiving in-home services,” said Fogarty. “It is important that we maintain field operations throughout the week to meet the needs of our public, but it is not an effective use of resources to keep the building open on Fridays."

“Our staff at the Livingston County Health Department constantly strives to be accommodating for the people we serve, accessible to our Livingston County community, and effective, trustworthy stewards of our local taxpayer dollars and grant funds,” expressed Fogarty. “We are certain that the adjustment of our building hours, while maintaining community services throughout the week, will best serve the needs of our Livingston County community.

Beginning on Monday, December 22nd the new building hours for the L.C.H.D. will be Monday through Wednesday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and closed on Fridays.
