09/01/2008 Florida Crossroads – All in a Day’s Work: Florida Probation Officers

No two days are ever the same in the life of a probation officer. It’s a job that focuses on protecting the public from convicted felons and protecting felons from themselves — by encouraging and counseling these offenders to lead successful lives “on the outside.” On any given day, a Florida probation officer can visit the poorest of poor neighborhoods or an upper class home; they can deal with a violent sexual offender or one convicted of unlawful possession of a fire arm.
