### local admin unit

[Probation delivery units](#probation-delivery-unit-%28pdu%29) are divided into local admin units. These used to be called local delivery units and you may hear the initialism LDU.

The initialism LAU is probably not well-known enough yet to be used without explanation. Write local admin unit out in full the first time you use it. Use sentence case.
