The National Probation Service

The National Probation Service (NPS) is a government agency responsible for supervising and supporting individuals convicted of crimes, particularly those serving community sentences or released from prison on parole. Its primary aim is to reduce reoffending by monitoring behavior, offering rehabilitative programs, and ensuring compliance with court orders. The NPS also works with victims and collaborates with other criminal justice agencies to promote public safety. It operates across England and Wales, focusing on both accountability for offenders and efforts to help them reintegrate into society.
