The Community Supervision Bureau uses parole officers to supervise inmates released on any type of community supervision and conducts pre-placement investigations, including job placement and referral to contracted transitional services.  Parole officers provide due process to inmates on supervision release who are charged with seriously violating their conditions of supervision.  The Community Supervision Bureau also administers the Home Arrest Program.

The Home Arrest Program provides community-based intensive supervision, using electronic monitoring, for inmates who have been released on home arrest by the Board of Executive Clemency (BOEC).

The Criminal Justice Support Bureau provides assistance to local, state and national law enforcement and correctional agencies, jails and the courts related to fugitives, sex offenders, the revocation hearing process and the interstate transfer of parolees.

The Fugitive Services Unit is responsible for the apprehension, extradition and transportation of fugitives and other offenders who violate their conditions of community supervision.   Staff exchange information with other agencies via the automated Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS) and serve as a point of contact for all escapee and absconder custody and revocation issues.

The Sex Offender Community Notification staff identify and profile sex offenders being released from ADC and coordinate legally mandated community notification with local, county and state law enforcement agencies. The Unit also provides ongoing training to local police and sheriff's offices on the sex offender community notification process in Arizona.  Unit staff coordinate all sex offender referrals to the county attorney under the state's Sexually Violent Persons statutes.

The Revocation Hearing Unit prepares and presents revocation cases at hearings conducted for released inmates who have seriously violated their conditions of supervision who have been released by BOEC on Parole, Work Furlough, Home Arrest or who are sentenced under Truth-In-Sentencing.  This Unit also schedules and conducts revocation hearings on inmates released under supervision on statutory release (Temporary, Provisional, Mandatory and Discretionary release).

The Interstate Compact Services Unit coordinates parole transfers from Arizona to other states, and offenders transferring to Arizona.  The Unit serves as the central location for interstate information and special investigation requests from other states on pardons, clemency investigations and pre-sentence reports.  Unit staff act as liaison with various state and local criminal justice agencies when procedural problems arise.  The Unit administers the Interstate Agreement for Detainers for inmates incarcerated elsewhere who are returned to Arizona for trial on untried criminal charges.
