Through a newly developed mobile application, probation officers and staff will be able to view client information when away from their desks. The information includes: addresses, phone numbers, school and employment information, drug tests, sanctions, latest assessment scores, hazards, and other case management information.  They will also be able to enter notes in the field, as well as sanctions, drug tests, and generate maps with directions to their next appointment locations.

The Probation Administration & Operations Division developed the mobile application for the ‘Nebraska Probation Application for Community Safety’ (NPACS) System through collaboration with staff from across the state.  The program, which will launch in January, will allow broader staff access to NPACS in order to better serve probation clients.  The NPACS Mobile App supports probation’s mission to deliver a system of seamless services by connecting officers and staff to applications historically accessed on desktop and improving their ability to manage cases remotely.
