What are some of the typical duties of the Probation Officer?
We supervise juveniles and adults on probation to the Court. The Probation Officer interviews offenders and others to determine the nature of the offender’s difficulties, identifies signs of substance abuse and mental health disorders and prepares written reports and makes recommendations to the Court. Probation Officers enforce conditions of probation, design treatment plans, cooperate with criminal justice, law enforcement and community agencies in mutual cases, access community resources, exercise peace officer powers of arrest and searches and conduct substance abuse testing.
