Job Summary

Probation Officers serve under the auspices of the York County Court of Common Pleas. Probation Officers are responsible to supervise and monitor either juveniles or adult offender’s compliance with conditions of probation and case planning. The officer must give balanced attention to the safety needs of the community, restoration of the victim, and rehabilitation of the offender. Officers are either assigned to oversee geographical regions within the County, which includes those who reside in the City of York, or are assigned to specialized caseloads. Specialty caseloads include individuals who have committed sexual offenses or domestic violence related offenses, individuals with mental illness or a history of trauma, and/or individuals in the treatment courts. Traveling to off-site locations, such as schools, residential facilities, treatment agencies and individual’s residences is an inherent component of Probation work, as is a significant amount of documentation and other paperwork.

Probation Officers complete an extensive training regimen and are expected to function with a fair degree of independence. An employee in this class investigates, advises and counsels adults and/or juveniles under the supervision of the Court to foster their personal, social and economic adjustment in the community. Work involves the counseling and supervision of clients, and completion of Court reports which include fair and balanced recommendations regarding the individual’s needs and protection of the community. Work includes a wide variety of contacts with agencies, employers, friends, and families in securing information regarding clients, and assisting in developing effective rehabilitation plans. Although law and well-defined procedures regulate the work, the employee is required in emergencies to make decisions directly affecting the public safety and the personal liberties of individuals. Work is reviewed in progress through observing the employee in action, through employee supervision time, case audits, and through the review of reports and recommendations.

Officers will successfully complete an initial defense tactics certification class generally within the first 6 months of employment. Officers will successfully complete an initial ORAS (risk assessment tool) certification within the first year of employment. Probation Officers that cannot successfully complete either of the programs will not be employable any longer.
