BROWN COUNTY Brown County commissioners will receive a 2020 probation department statistics report at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
“This was a year of uncertainty. COVID-19 flipped many procedures and policies upside down,” Brown County Probation Director Les Schultz wrote in his report. “Staff truly outdid themselves this past year, working with many constant changes that COVID-19 pushed us towards. We were locked down for most of the year and had to supervise our clients differently.”
Schultz said his department had to learn Zoom, Web-ex, Team, VPN, and Splashtop, all of which were unheard of last January but became proficient at them in just a few months.
