History
The Probation and Parole Service was created in September 1978, during a restructuring of the Ministry of Correctional Services. It assumed its responsibilities from the former Adult Division, in which regional probation offices had been administered. The service formed part of the new Community Programs Division.
On September 1, 1984, the Community Programs Division and the Institutions Division were merged within the new Operations Division. At that time, the Probation and Parole Service ceased to exist, and was replaced by a regional structure within the new division.
