2. A probation officer who is suspended on probation following a conviction and who is under the supervision of a probation officer under this Part 2 and who is first tested for illegal or unauthorized use of a controlled substance and has a positive result shall be subject to any or all of the following: Probation officers must demonstrate professionalism, whether on or off duty. When acting in an official capacity, they must not compromise public trust. They must be able to perform their tasks efficiently, effectively and professionally. Before being hired, probation officers usually need to have a bachelor`s degree and some level of work experience to ensure that they can perform their duties properly. Each department has specific requirements for how probation officers carry out their duties. Most provinces and territories require some form of initial training followed by annual training. Since the probation officer has a position of power over juveniles and/or adults, he or she must be trusted to interact with them with discernment. Probation officers, as representatives of the court, are required to comply with all laws. They must perform their duties impartially, without discrimination and without prejudice. They must avoid conflicts of interest and not accept gifts that could cloud their judgment. You must be respectful and courteous to everyone, including offenders.

You may not use the position for commercial, political or personal purposes. Probation officers must maintain the confidentiality of all information in their possession. You must allow the probation officer to visit you at home or elsewhere at any time, and you must allow the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of your supervision that he observes in sight. 4. (a) Before an offender is released from probation, the probation officer who releases the offender shall, at the last meeting with the offender, give the notice referred to in clause (b) of this subsection (4). Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3563(b)(16), the court may require the defendant to “authorize a probation officer to visit the defendant at his or her home or elsewhere as determined by the court.” You must not have direct contact with a child that you know or reasonably should know is under the age of 18, including your own children, without the permission of the probation officer. If you have direct contact with a child who you know or reasonably should know is under the age of 18, including your own children, without the permission of the probation officer, you must report that contact to the probation officer within 24 hours. Direct contact includes written communication, personal communication or physical contact. Direct contact includes non-casual contact during ordinary daily activities in public places.

(1) A probation officer has a duty to inquire into and report on any matter referred to him or her by the court for inquiry. The probation officer shall give each person released on parole under his supervision a written statement of the conditions of probation and inform him accordingly. The officer shall inquire into the conduct and condition of any person on probation under his supervision and report it to the court on the dates ordered by the officer. These officers must use all appropriate methods, which are not inconsistent with the conditions imposed by the court, to assist persons on probation and improve their conduct and condition. Each staff member shall keep a record of his or her work; submit the necessary reports to the court; and perform such other functions as the Court may direct. You cannot communicate or otherwise interact with a known gang member without first obtaining permission from the probation officer. (b) Request the revocation of probation in accordance with articles 16-11-205 and 16-11-206; 3. If a probation officer referred to in paragraph 2 of this section is subjected to a second or subsequent test for the illegal or unauthorized use of a controlled substance and the result of that test is positive, the probation officer shall, in one or more of the following measures: In many jurisdictions, such as New York, Probation officers also act as peace officers. They can carry and use a firearm or other weapon, conduct searches and seizures, arrest probation officers and execute arrest warrants. Probation officers act as officers; As such, they are required to adhere to strict professional guidelines and an ethical code of conduct.

Failure to do so has a negative impact not only on the probation officer involved, but also on the department, the community and the profession. The community must be able to respect the probation officer`s ability to protect the public. While each jurisdiction`s rules and regulations regarding probation officers vary slightly, this overarching objective motivates most departments. 2018 — paragraph (8)(A).
