About the role
Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (HCJPD) is the third-largest juvenile justice agency in the country and the second-largest department in Harris County, employing over 1,200 professionals dedicated to youth justice transformation and reform.

The department continuously innovates by implementing systemic changes to lower detention populations and promote positive youth development.

Community supervision and rehabilitative services are delivered through Community Unit Probation Services (CUPS) located throughout Harris County, with numerous satellite offices for family convenience. YDD also seeks to divert young people from further involvement in the juvenile justice system by offering informal alternatives to formal court proceedings and diversion programs to youth and their families.
