The Missouri Department of Probation and Parole and the Department have committed to working together in a partnership/supervision strategy to help probationers, parolees and their families address their needs and assist in successfully completing their terms of supervision.
Officer Andre Jackson works for the D Platoon and serves as the Department representative. As part of his duties, he and a representative of Probation & Parole, conduct twice-a-week home visits (during the evening and weekend) with approximately 35 “at risk” offenders living within the Seventh District. These visits are conducted at homes, places of employment and schools on random days at odd hours..
The success of this program has lead to a second program, The St. Louis Juvenile Project, which was molded after the St. Louis Project, but is collaboration between the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and St. Louis Family Courts. Officer Jackson also represents the Department in this program. As part of his duties, he provides intervention and accountability to high risk juvenile offenders to increase the likelihood of successfully completing supervision.
Officer Jackson has a strong relationship with the officers and the offenders, which has made an impact on the community. He has helped to bridge the path for the offenders and family member’s success on and after supervision. Officer Jackson’s commitment and dedication to ensuring the success of these programs is noteworthy and sets an example for other officers in the Seventh District.
