(BOP) - The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is proud to promote National Pretrial, Probation, and Parole Supervision Week (#PPPSWeek), observed this year from Sunday, July 20 through Saturday, July 26, 2025.
Held annually during the third full week of July, #PPPSWeek shines a national spotlight on the dedicated professionals who support public safety through community corrections. In 2025, we embrace the theme: “Heroes Behind the Mission: Transforming Lives, Enhancing Public Safety.” This week honors the extraordinary contributions of more than 100,000 community corrections professionals who serve on the front lines of supervision and rehabilitation.
Pretrial, probation, and parole are critical components of the judicial process—supporting individuals before, during, and after incarceration. BOP continues to work closely with our partner agencies to streamline these efforts and foster successful reintegration.
Key partners include:
- U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services – These officers, part of the federal Judiciary, provide pretrial services, conduct presentence investigations, and oversee post-conviction supervision.
- United States Parole Commission – A component of the Department of Justice, the Commission is responsible for granting, denying, and monitoring parole for individuals under its jurisdiction.
Reflecting on this collaboration, Shana Grimes, Deputy Administrator of the Community Reentry Affairs Branch and Chief of Community Treatment Services, shared:
“Our partnership with probation services is built on shared commitment—to justice, accountability, and second chances. Together, we help individuals navigate the path home and support public safety every step of the way.”
As we observe #PPPSWeek, we invite everyone to recognize the unwavering dedication, compassion, and professionalism of these heroes who help build safer, stronger communities across the country.
