Our Legal Self-Help Centers make available correct and current information on Illinois law and court proceedings. A navigator is present during normal working hours to assist individuals with using the available computer and print resources. Be advised, Navigators and employees of the Circuit Clerk’s Office cannot give out legal advice or tell you which forms to fill out.

 
   

The Resource Intervention Center (RIC) is also located inside the Adult Probation Center. The RIC opened for service in February 2008. Its mission is to enhance community safety by providing evidence-based targeted interventions. Probation Officers complete validated risk/need assessments that identify areas of concern in an offender’s life and predict the likelihood of recidivism. Interventions at the RIC target the identified areas of risk and needs. The RIC is an essential partner to the Adult and Pretrial Services Division and continues to develop evidence-based programming that provides the interventions necessary to not only change criminal behavior but to sustain that change.

Funding for the Resource Intervention Center (RIC) - Behavioral Health Continuation Program was received through the Winnebago County Community Mental Health Board.
