"Raymond "Chip" is the New York Probation ICJ Office. Chip is responsible for processing all incoming and outgoing transfer of supervision cases, travel permits, and other correspondence submitted in UNITY to New York State Probation. Despite that workload, Chip finds the time to closely monitor the submission of home evaluation reports, progress reports and responses to violation reports. He is proactive in his approach to ensure New York Probation's compliance in these areas and routinely sends out email correspondence to local probation departments as due date reminders. Chip works with his colleagues from across the nation to resolve issues in a timely and professional manner and is always available to assist the New York local probation department staff in ICJ related matters. He takes the time to walk local probation department staff through the submission of various events in UNITY and has developed a UNITY/ICJ Rule training which he plans to present, in conjunction with the NYS Probation DCA, to local probation department staff in the fall. It is safe to say that Chip goes "above and beyond the call of duty" on a daily basis."
