Guidelines: The purpose of community service restitution is to provide indigent defendants an opportunity to satisfy court financial obligations by providing a genuine benefit to the community. Community Service Restitution providers must be a governmental entity, a non-profit organization or another organization that provides services to the general public that enhance social welfare andthe general well- being of the community (as determined by the court) or an educational institution. Subjecting community service workers to dangerous or abusive situations, exposure to drugs or alcohol, proselytizing or advocating political points of view, refusal to fill out the court's timesheets, and/or falsifying timesheets, or asking workers to work on private property or other work that benefits an individual citizen shall result in immediate removal from the court's approved provider list. The Presiding Judge maintains a zero tolerance policy in regards to stated guidelines. 

At all times the work environment must be safe. If approved, it is very important to remind you of your responsibility to ensure that participants perform their duties as approved and under the safest conditions possible at all times. Under no circumstances are community service workers to perform work that is NOT in compliance with city, state and federal safety laws. Participants are not allowed to drive vehicles or to be transported in a vehicle while performing work hours as part of the assigned duties.
