Interstate Compact Administration and Compliance 

The Adult and Juvenile Compact Administration, Quality Compliance and Improvement office is under the direction of Deputy Compact Administrator Kari Rumbaugh (Bio). The office oversees adult and juvenile interstate compact for probation, interdistrict (in-state) transfers, the Rural Improvement for Schooling and Employment (RISE) AmeriCorps program and District Compliance. The office oversees the processes for probationer movement within the state of Nebraska and over state lines focused on public safety and compliance with interstate compact rules.  The office manages the RISE AmeriCorps program, which is a service for probationers in rural areas of the state, focused on employment and educational skill building.  Finally, District Compliance is essential to support evidence-based practices.  The office evaluates probation district statewide to measure the success of services, programs and probation statewide.
