There is a lot of talk, these days, about Officer stress and burnout in the criminal justice system. Human services job are stressful and the chances of burnout at some time in your career are high. Some POs are protected somewhat by managers who practice their own in-house flexibility in case management, comp time off, etc. Some management does not understand and thinks their staff should be burned out like they are. The conflicting roles of custody and care cause stress in the POs life as they try to balance the two. Some of the examples of burnout we will discuss include exhaustion, apathy, bitterness, impatience, complaining, and feeling sick. We will talk about 8 steps to reduce stress in your career. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000. This is a great field guide to working probation and more about the "How To's" and "Why's" of the PO process than statistics. Please come join us!

The national average, according to the author, is 117 defendants on one's caseload. What the author does not explain is that misdemeanor caseloads are often much higher - 250+ per PO. Juvenile and Intensive Probation caseloads are 50+. A officer doesn't just talk with defendants! A PO spends time in Court, spends time with the judge, responds to inquiries from the prosecutor, compiles and sends reports to their manager, covers for other staff who are out sick, in training, or on vacation. The list of demands continues to increase and the defendants just keep rolling in. What are some scheduling tools the PO can use to organize their day so they can get everything done? How should they schedule defendants in? How do they handle the telephone monster? What about paperwork and getting it all done? There is never enough time but there can be nearly enough if you manage your caseload instead of letting it manage you. Let's talk about it. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

Probation Officers are not normally seen as the gentlemen and ladies they usually are. The public things of them as pseudo-cops running around in dark alleys and the projects rounding up errant defendants or busting into their home to drug screen them at 0200 hours. In fact, Probation Officer should be the "polished" members of the court. Working with the lawyers, prosecutors, and judges efficiently means being credible in their company and communicating on an educated level with them. But then what do you do with your defendants? Do you shake their hand? How to you handle interruptions in the office? What kind of privacy should you expect? What about physical contact with defendants and then how do you relate to your coworkers constructively when you are at the end of your rope? These and other real topics about today's real probation Officers will be discussed to provide some guidance on how to navigate the etiquette waters in your office. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

Probation Officers are normally not as endangered as some members of the Public Safety community but that also lulls many into a false sense of security. We will start with some basic suggestions for Officer Safety and then move into specific areas - the office, the field, and when transporting. We will also cover angry probationers and the harm they can do, those who fixate romantically on their PO, and special problems. Career victimization is something we will also introduce you to so you don't become a part of a "critical incident". This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

Probation Officers take about a full year before they really learn their way around. Within that first year they can be bewildered by the defendants they have. Defendants can broadly fit into one of the following types we will be talking about: The Constant Complainer, The "Good" Probationer, The Seducer, and The Angry Probationer. We will close with a short dialogue about Antisocial personalities.

The relationship between an Officer and an Offender is one of the most challenging in the criminal justice profession. On the one hand the Officer decides, in large part, whether the defendant can remain on probation "at large" as a privilege and not as a right. On the other, the same Officer may decide to request a Revocation Hearing or, worse yet, the arrest of the defendant. We will also examine different PO personality types in this seminar: the Investigator, the Interrogator, the Police Officer, the Executioner, and the Social Worker. We will close, time willing, discussing inappropriate relationships between Officers and defendants which undermine Officer's effectiveness. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

POs have to be great communicators and that means actively listening to what the defendant is telling you as well as their body language. Courtwork is nothing like it is depicted on television and POs need to be prepared for almost anything to happen. You need to bring your files, you need to look professional, and you must be ready to be cross-examined on every detail you bring with you. We will spend some time on the Presentence Report but that will not be a subject we rely on to complete the seminar. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

There are other areas like the Drug Screening room and the Courthouse but, for the most part, POs are very busy either seeing defendants or documenting their defendant's actions. This seems like a common-sense subject but how should a new PO set up their space? Where should the desk be? Seating should be specific to maintaining control. Equipment and supplies need to be controlled and out of reach of your defendants. Your computer's position is critical so you can view sensitive information confidentially. Your files must be organized and the mail controlled.  The caseload must be managed and the decoration of the office - well, you will be disappointed with your options. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.

What are some of the ethical challenges they face? This is a probation training seminar focused on the ethical responsibilities of the PO. We emphasize that both the POs and the people they supervise are human beings so each needs to do their part to maintain a healthy and productive relationship. There is a right way and a wrong way but the only good way is the professional way. Specific subjects include confidentiality, abuse of office, loyalty, the appearance of wrongdoing, the impact of politics, sexual misconduct, and diversity issues. This is a training seminar based on Earlene Festervan's work entitled "Survival Guide for New Probation Officers" published by the American Correctional Association in 2000.
