The Targeted Offender Program, (T.O.P.), was started in 1990 by Constable Skinner. The unit was created in response to a need for law enforcement presence to quickly apprehend these fugitives before they can commit new crimes. Before this time, there was no law enforcement agency charged with the duty of apprehending violent parole violators (sex offenders, murderers, etc.). Until 1990, parolees who had violated conditions of their parole would remain free until contact with law enforcement, which was most often with the commission of another crime.

Staffed with well-trained and motivated deputies, this unit works with state parole to actively monitor the compliance of offenders under the Super Intensive Supervision Program (S.I.S.P).
