What kind of Training do i have to take to be a Probation officer???
According to the New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives website: 23. How can I become a probation officer? Probation officers in New York State work directly for one of 57 county probation departments or the City of New York. Each county department administers probation within its own jurisdiction. Each county and the City of New York have a municipal civil service agency that administers the civil service exams for the probation officer title. The NYS Department of Civil Service maintains the addresses and telephone numbers for each civil service agency, as well as recruitment and examination information. DPCA maintains the address and phone number for each probation department. http://dpca.state.ny.us/general_faq.
