Greetings. Pennsylvania’s criminal justice system is, in actuality, a family of agencies and organizations working in partnership with one another to achieve the common goal of public safety. This website will help you to understand the responsibility of parole and the vital role it contributes to community safety. We are launching this new website at a time when parole systems have more opportunities than ever before to adopt effective offender management strategies in order to reduce victimization. Through this website, we will: • communicate ongoing advancements of the commonwealth’s parole system as it continues to incorporate the latest evidence-based practices into our decision making and supervision processes; • keep you informed of our operations, performance, and new initiatives. I hope you will find the information on this site interesting and informative.  Michael C. Potteiger Chairman
