How to become a Juvenile Probation Officer

Juvenile Probation Officers: Creating Fresh Starts

Children should be given second chances. For those who make serious errors, juvenile probation officers can make serious differences, and hopefully prevent the need for third chances. In addition to encouraging fresh starts, juvenile probation officers do the following for juveniles in trouble with the law:

  • create rehabilitation plans
  • arrange for necessary rehab, such as substance abuse rehabilitation
  • set up job training
  • meet with the offender's family, friends, and community organizations
In addition, juvenile probation officers work for courts, investigating the offender's background, writing presentence reports, and recommending sentences. As with most careers, the job of the juvenile probation officer has transformed with technology: electronic monitoring devices, reporting kiosks, and advanced drug screening are monitored by juvenile probation officers.

The Education of Juvenile Probation Officers

To become a juvenile probation officer, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recommends that you earn at least a bachelor's degree in social work, criminal justice, psychology, or related field. Further, the BLS states that, for applicants with no previous related work experience, many employers require master's degrees.

No matter your educational background, most juvenile probation officers undergo some sort of probationary period (such as working as a trainee), for up to one year, before being offered permanent positions. And because of the field's rising technology, juvenile probation officers should include computer courses in their education.

If you have a lot of patience and believe in second chances, learn more here about becoming a juvenile probation officer.

The following schools offer criminal justice degrees which can help you gain the skills to become a Juvenile Probation Officer:
