About the Probation Department

The Meskwaki Probation Department provides guidance to Tribal Court probationers by encouraging them to be successful community members. Probationers are provided access to a variety of resources and services that not only address their offenses, but also promote healthy lifestyles and help reconnect them with the community.

What We Believe

We believe that offenders who maintain and/or build strong family relationships are less likely to reoffend. We believe that without targeted intervention, there is a higher risk that previous patterns of behaviors are likely to be repeated and/or passed on to the next generation. The Probation Department works as a resource to offenders by targeting educational and cultural opportunities to reduce the chances of re-offending by promoting lifelong learning, employment, counseling, mentoring, and social inclusion practices.
