RECOGNIZING THE NATION'S COMMUNITY SUPERVISION PROFESSIONALS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 113 (Monday, July 13, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 113 (Monday, July 13, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E667] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE NATION'S COMMUNITY SUPERVISION PROFESSIONALS ______ HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON of the district of columbia in the house of representatives Monday, July 13, 2026 Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Nation's community supervision professionals, who are dedicated public servants and perform many vital roles in their work with justice-involved adults and juveniles. They identify opportunities and services to help justice- involved individuals contribute to society, while holding them accountable for their actions. They remain mindful of their role in protecting public safety. In honor of Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2026, whose theme is ``Connected for Change: Building Bridges in Supervision,'' we salute all those who have chosen this important career. In the District of Columbia, we especially thank the employees of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA) and the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) for their service. CSOSA and PSA are models of excellence in community supervision. Community supervision agencies are valuable partners of other government agencies, nonprofits, neighborhood-based groups and all who strive to make our Nation safer and stronger. We extend our gratitude to community supervision professionals and recognize their many achievements as we proclaim July 19 through July 25, 2026, as Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2026. ____________________
