In 1979, the Indiana General Assembly transferred the responsibility for certification, training, and support of probation in Indiana from the executive branch to the Judicial Conference of Indiana. Under this statutory authority, the Judicial Conference delegated many of these duties to its staff agency, the Indiana Judicial Center. The Judicial Center provides training and technical assistance to probation departments and also oversees the certification requirements for probation officers on behalf of the Judicial Conference. In particular, the Judicial Center administers the application process, examination and orientation program for new probation officers.

Under the authority of the Judicial Conference, the Judicial Center also administers the procedures for probationers participating in the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision.
