Parole & Probation Specialists perform technical duties in administrative functions and units, which do not require peace officer status. Duties include casework services, investigations, tracking and monitoring assigned parolees and probationers, pre-sentence investigations, determination of restitution and supervision fees, and referral services for the assigned unit. Positions in this series obtain and verify information; prepare and process case files and recommend appropriate action; and monitor offender activities. Incumbents are not Peace Officer's Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) certified and do not perform law enforcement functions such as conducting field inspections of offenders' worksite or residence, conducting surveillance, searches and arrests, or transporting prisoners to court or detention facilities.
Parole & Probation Specialist III's prepare pre-sentencing reports and recommendations at the fully trained level in the Court Services Unit, or serve as leadworker to other specialists in the Interstate Compact or Pre-Release Unit.
Incumbents prepare Pre-Sentence Investigation Reports for the court prior to the sentencing of an individual convicted of a crime. These multi-page reports include a narrative of the offense(s) and recommendations to the judge; applying the appropriate statutory regulations to the offense(s). This requires interviewing convicted offenders to collect their social history and can occur in a prison, office setting, day reporting center, or at the local jail. The successful candidate will have superior written communication skills including grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling with minimal corrections required; experience interviewing persons to elicit information; strong organizational skills; and the ability to meet multiple deadlines using good prioritization skills. Experience giving testimony in a courtroom setting is a plus, but is not required. ***THIS RECRUITMENT MAY CLOSE AT ANY TIME DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED.
