The Office of Probation and Correctional Alternatives (OPCA) educates and trains probation officers and other community corrections professionals in line with the best interests of public safety and the reduction of crime. The OPCA provides virtual and live training to all levels of community corrections practitioners within our funding umbrella. OPCA works with members of a Statewide Training Committee, made up of probation professionals from across New York State, in the development, design and delivery of training curricula and the promotion of evidence based practices. OPCA also provides ongoing leadership and standards for required training of probation practitioners provided in regional locations.
