Sentencing to Service (STS) is a community work service program in which clients may be court ordered as a sentencing sanction or as a condition of pretrial diversion or in lieu of paying traffic fines. Over the years, the Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) has modified the STS Program in order to offer participants an opportunity to learn landscaping and other marketable skills. For several years, Hennepin County, through DOCCR, has entered into funding partnerships with a variety of local agencies, where STS participants serve on work crews to provide labor for those local agencies. The number of days worked and the number of assigned crews vary based on the needs of the agencies.

This board action request aligns with Hennepin County disparity reduction efforts by providing an alternative to paying traffic fines and an opportunity to learn marketable skills for justice involved populations who are disproportionally people of color.

The following provides a brief description of the services to be provided under each of the Agreements.
