Parole Officer
I am writing on being a parole officer. I am giving information on them. My mom was on probation so I have had my experiences with probation and how positively it could affect one’s life. They focus on keeping people that were in jail under control, when they get out. They need and use the same equipment as a police officer. They have some different equipment then police officers. They make lots of money. There are also different types of parole officers.
A person needs at least a bachelor’s degree to become a parole officer. One could also use some study in psychology. One needs to know the psychology of the human traits, actions, functions, and senses. A person needs to have a face-to-face chat every so often with his or her parolee. He or she could also call them over the phone to make sure they are where they need to be and doing what they are supposed to be doing. The most important is giving his or her parolee a drug test every month they come in for a checkup.
They are a special type of psychologist that can read body language. They have multiple tasks to do on a daily basis. They also need to write a summary on their parolee every month that could help them with court and if they ever have problems in the future. It can also give them an advantage against the judge or anybody in the court with whoever is going against them. There are three different majors that you could study in or one could just study in all of them to highly increase his or her chance to be a parole and/or probation officer.

A person needs to be able to get along with multiple different t...

Parole is a controversial issue because its vase ways to debate the challenges and problems that will exist. It’s like a side effect to medication based on one’s effectiveness belief. In like manner, the public media allows others who aren’t immediately effected to become tertiary, and secondary victims. It is the door to open opinions.

I talked to Caleb about the educational requirements for the field and I learned that the corrections field (at least entry level) is relatively easy for one to make entry into. The first step is to simply put your resume and application together and send it in. If you make it past the interview process and get selected, you will begin your initial training. This first phase is a four week stretch that is spent entirely in the class room. After that your probationary year begins and you are put to work in the jail/prison, wherever you were hired. Within that probationary year you have to attend a three week training course in Glynco, GA at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, which consist of more classroom instruction as well as some self-defense instruction. Once you complete that training and make it through your probationary year, you are on your way to moving up in the corrections world.
You have to train so that they know you qualify for the job. You have to be in shape and know how to act in different situations. The agents receive classroom and Web-based instruction in subjects including law, investigative practices, forensics, behavioral science, and ethics. To get an experience of what it will be like, they will have you practice and act out common scenarios. The trainees will conduct a mock-investigation where they will interview suspects, find evidence, and provide testimony in court. The new agents will also receive proper training in firearms, defensive techniques, working undercover, tactical driving, and

Given what’s been said, one may ask me why it is that I aspire to be a correctional officer. And the answer to that question is rather simple. I want to be a correctional officer because I thrive on a rush of euphoria to course through my veins. And being a correctional officer will allow an endless supply of euphoria to course through my veins. And with that said, I don’t need to further explain why such a career is what I long for.
All in all, the ideas surrounding the criminal justice system were affirmed by the field practice experience. Many open doors have resulted from the venture into the field of probation.

...ernment. On the other hand, probation is a judicial function. Also, parolees have already spent time in prison before being released into to the community while probationers usually haven’t (in most states). In some jurisdictions, both are supervised by state employed officers or agents, while in others they are supervised by separate probation or parole agencies (Stohr, Walsh, & Hemmens, 2013, p.270). Parole and probation officer (sometimes these jobs are combined in some jurisdictions) have two common roles: to protect the community and to assist the probationers/parolees to become more productive, law-abiding members of the community. This dual role makes them both law enforcement officers as well as social workers.
