Supervision is most effectively provided within the community in which the defendant resides, allowing better protection for the community and providing services for the defendant while following the order of the Sentencing Court. Any adult defendant being supervised on parole, probation, electronic monitoring or a pre-trial diversion program may request a transfer of supervision from the county in which they were sentenced (Sending County) to the county where they are residing (Receiving County).  The Receiving County is encouraged to provide supervision equal to that of a defendant sentenced by their own Court. State or county transfer officers will then assemble a transfer application for all offenders residing outside of Adams County. If transferred, defendants MUST still abide by the rules set forth by their Adams County sentence. In other words, a defendant’s home state or county is merely supervising on behalf of the Adams County transfer officers. The defendant will also be held accountable to the rules set forth by their residing state or county.

In order to qualify for a county or state transfer you must meet the following requirements:

1. The defendant requesting a transfer shall be a resident of the Receiving County, or have a stable living arrangement.

-Residential treatment, college students, military or temporary employment are extenuating circumstances for which a transfer may be mutually agreed upon between the Receiving County and the Sending County.

2. The defendant shall be employed, have a legitimate offer of employment or visible means of support.

3. The defendant shall have at least 6 months left of supervision for a felony, misdemeanor or consecutively sentenced summary offenses. 

-The timely transfer of a 6-month probation case shall be considered for acceptance by the Receiving County. 

-Upon request of the Sending County, any case with less than 6 months of supervision remaining shall be considered for acceptance by the Receiving County.

-Any case sentenced to less than 6 months for home confinement/electronic monitoring/house arrest shall be considered for acceptance for the purpose of completing the sentence.

4.The defendant shall be in compliance with supervision.
