| About Us  First incorporated as a private, not-for-profit organization in 1970 as Pride Halfway House, Inc., the agency officially changed its name to Pride Integrated Services, Inc. in 1993. The new name more accurately describes the myriad of services the company provides. Pride specializes in programming for the criminal justice client and in the development and provision of specialized education programs. Pride is the oldest, private probation agency in the United States and has been a pioneer in criminal justice and rehabilitative programming. Almost all Pride programs are self-supporting through the collection of client fees, costing the community and the taxpayer nothing. Only the Drug Court Assessment Team is funded through a federal grant as a member of a consortium of service providers. Pride offers Misdemeanor Probation in Georgia and Florida, operates three State certified DUI Programs in Florida and multiple Traffic School Programs in Florida.

Pride is the oldest, private probation agency in the country, having continually provided criminal justice services since 1970 and misdemeanor probation services since 1977.
- Innovation
Pride has developed numerous programs to enhance supervision of criminal justice clients. Pride was the first private agency to utilize electronic monitoring.
- Reliability
Pride has a proven history of responsiveness to the needs of the community and criminal justice system where we provide services.
- Flexibility
Pride tailors services to meet the needs of the community and criminal justice system. We have the expertise to develop programs that meet your needs rather than bringing a "cookie cutter" program to your community and expecting you to conform to our services.
- Cost Effective
All Pride programs are user fee based. Pride has never charged the County for services provided. Pride forwards 100% of fines, fees, court costs and restitution to it's appropriate recipient.
- Non-Profit Agency
As a not for profit agency, Pride answers directly to the community and not to shareholders. Any income generated is reinvested into the community and the programs we offer.
- Public Safety
Pride employees come from the communities where we provide services. We are dedicated to the safety and security of our communities through comprehensive supervision services.
- Agents of Change
Pride has a responsibility to its clients to help them meet their needs for improving their lives and decreasing their probability of recidivism. Through cooperative affiliations with community resources, we help our clients get the services they need. Our interventions are not limited to the scope of the court order. We are agents of change in our clients' lives and see probation as an opportunity to facilitate those changes.
