950-2-4-.01 Statement of Policy. The Department of Youth Services shall provide salary subsidies for probation services to all Alabama counties. The department shall expend funds to match at least half of the probation officers' salaries according to the following formula. At a minimum, each county will receive funding for one juvenile probation officer per 20,000 population or fraction thereof. The department shall use the last federal decennial census for these determinations. The various counties shall provide the necessary matching funds for these subsidies. If there are counties of under 30,000 population which do not provide matching funds, the department is authorized at its discretion to fully subsidize one probation officer per such county.
