I'm just binging on your videos, I'm a naval vet and I'll have my B.S. in CJ this August.....I said that to say this. Thank you for your informative videos, I think you're dope. Oh yeah, I do intend to become an probation/ parole officer and I may have some questions eventually. :-)

There really is some good p.o's out there. I've been on probation for almost 3 years and my p.o is an awesome person. She is to the point and down to business. But she knows personal details about me and never fails to ask how my babies are doing and so on. Regardless of being a client or officer everyone's human. My advice from experience do what you are asked and be straight up so they dont have to ask about the bs. Probation is a cake walk if you do what needs be done. Keep up the amazing work ma'am. Much respect for you, Having to deal with the knuckleheads daily. Stay blessed..

Thank you so much for your videos. I'm writing a short story from the point-of-view of a P.O. and your channel is a fun and reliable way to make sure I get the details right!

Very good information! Thank you for taking time to make this video.

Wow girl. There is content for everyone, that's forsure! I looked up videos like this before over the last few years and they just aren't personal like you have made your channel (for probation). So just wanted to say I am glad you are speaking about your profession! A few years ago I did an internship for adult probation and loved it, but didnt have my bachelor's at the time. Once I did get it, for some reason still felt kinda hesitant (like self doubt because I look young lol, and the caseload). You have motivated me to apply again, thank you. Hmm, one question I do have is do you ever feel like you go home and still feel emotionally involved with things you may have heard that day? Say a client's current situation or past that maybe was hard to hear/read about? Also would love to hear more about court, like how did you end up feeling so comfortable with it overtime, etc.

Awesome video miss, im watching this for my internship class. Thank you for your insight.

My wife sent me this video and its sounds like something I would enjoy. We are moving from AZ to TX in two months. I'm applying for P.O position. Wish me luck. I enjoyed your video and got a good perspective on what the job entitles. Thanks for uploading.

I subscribed!! I loved how you explained everything.. I am currently majoring in Criminology & one of the career im interested in is P.O 😁 would love to see and learn more about it!!

Interesting to see the differences and similarities in how our offices operate. Love the points you make especially about how the defendant violates, it's not the PO who violates them. I love court and have only had to go to hearing a hand full of times and am no longer intimidated. We also have to go to hearing for other PO's and that is difficult unless you have good documentation and the Judge gives you a minute to find the answer. I do wish we carried some type of protection in the field, not necessarily guns, but I have found rapport and respecting the individual really helps make a difference in a smooth interaction in the field. Of course if we don't feel safe we leave. I have found that most of the people on probation are given the opportunity to do probation because they made a dumb decision, hopefully can learn from it and don't belong in jail. -Thanks for your videos, have fun and stay safe.

This month will make 5 months that I’m a P.O in cook county. I love it. Everything you’re saying in this video is soooo true especially with older men not wanting to hear from younger women, documenting everything and etc. I’ve met some of the judges at my courthouse but haven’t been called down to court thankfully!!! But what I do hate are field visits lol but I still do them tho!

I'm going to apply in Florida and enjoyed your video. Thank you!

Oh my goodness yess your channel is exactly what I need I want to pursue this career but I don’t know how to start

7:04 clear that documentation is KEY!

SO excited to have come across your page. I have an interview next week for a P.O. position (no LEO experience, but I have 2 B.S. degrees and 5+ years in the corporate world). How would you recommend me prepare for the interview? My husband is an officer (close to an hour away, so we wouldn't have any cross-over) and I have been obsessed with getting into the Criminal Justice field every since. I can't wait to help make a difference in people's lives. -Thank you!

Amazing videos , sis. Keep it up

Hi! I teach criminal justice, and due to COVID, guest speakers/job shadow is not happening this year. Thanks for posting your videos on what life is like as a PO-my students will enjoy hearing all about it!

Love your channel! I’ve just passed my written exam, what advise would you suggest to prepared for oral interview?

Omy Gosh !! I always wanted to know this Information.. Cute Animations 🤗

Great video!👏👏👏

So happy I found your videos. I have a bachelors in psychology and I really want to be a PO. I live South of Houston and I’m not really sure of the requirements. Do you have any suggestions on where I should start?

Thank you for your video

Thanks for posting. I been thru a correctional academy a police academy and now I'm in school getting a degree in criminal justice and i plan to be a probation officer

Good Video, and also your very funny and 😂😂

Thanks 4 sharing🎉 im on the other side of the table lol

When you go to court as a PO is that all you do is testify on the stand? I have 5 years experience as a legal assistant and I’m currently a detention officer, the court part still makes me nervous lol.

Good Video 💙💙

What’s the process of removal of car breathalyzer in texas. This is my last month and my PO said im done after this month (30th) and not take a UA anymore after but need a judge to sign off to take the interlock off. How long does it take for the judge to sign it and when after can i take it off? Im going on vacation after and was wondering if i can drink again since ill be off probation but will have the breathalyzer until who knows when. Thank you

Hi Ma’am! So I’m wearing a scram device and am reading horror stories about people getting false positives on this device, it’s to the point that I’m avoiding certain job sites I would normally work due to alcohol containing products such has hand sanitizer, cleaning products, etc, the scram company assures me their “analyst” can determine the difference between an environmental exposure vs a drinking event, what insight can you offer with respect to my concern? Thank you in advance.

I Loved your video, how many years do you work as an officer until retirement ?

9:03 i sure wish my p.o. gave me a chance to change when i was a juvenile ward of the court

Hi, I have a nephew that will parole to my home. What questions should I expect to be asked with the initial visit from how PO? Thanks 😊

Do you have a choice in being on- call or it depends on your state? Or Dept?

I’m currently interested in becoming a P.O. and one thing I want to know is is smiling something I would need to learn how to not do? I smile when I am nervous, which I assume is how I would feel in the beginning months. I know I’d eventually get comfortable, but am I going to make myself look like a pushover? Oh and also, when you learn the job, do you receive all the information you need for helping them get jobs or finding places to live?

So wha exactly do you do in the court visits.

I love your energy! I'm thinking about being a PO but one of my biggest fears is that my Major won't help me deal with spectrum or undiagnosed individuals with a mental disability who come to me after being on probation.😑

PAPER WORK!! haha well thats from my experience being a juvenile PO

I'm looking to be a p.o in Michigan I'm currently finishing up my bachelor's in criminal justice. I will be done in August 2021 in tips on trying to apply for a position of p.o.

I live in Houston I wish I had as my PO😍

I have a panel interview for PO position this week. I am nervous.

Hey love, do you think that having a lot of jobs in the past will affect possibly getting the job? Do I have to put every job on there or just the important ones ?

Hi @your favorite P.O I am currently enrolled at San Jac for my basics and then transferring out to a university. what university do you recommend I am in Houston also. I would like to be a juvenile PO. What do you recommend I focus on after I receive my bachelors?

What if I’m 15 min late to a meeting and I’ve been trying to tell him that I’m coming straight from work but he never answers the phone and I left a voicemail. Will he trip over that?

I’m interested in this field like so so much I love law . But people say this field isn’t worth it. But what did you take to become a p. o.? And I also want to do juvenile

I’m a freshman in college majoring in psychology I had intreat into clinical field but now I’m leaning towards P.O what do you recommend I do to get to that level

Hello, im very interested into going into the PO field. I do have a question tho, am i able to choose the age ranges of my clients? like could i just specify that i wanna work with just teens? thank you so so much

I am on probation right now for my first time. i called the office 1 time right before my second visit. My probation officer: Had a major attitude. He was short with me. I was asking i would say dumb basic questions. Which i only asked 1 till he cut me short and told me it will be handled when i come in for my visit. I am super nervous and just wanted to make sure i was properly handling everything correctly. That had me sooooo Worried. Why? Because i am panicking hoping I'm bringing the correct paperwork. Which i am thinking if i don't have what I needed i would Violate... I was so nervous and afraid to ask any other question. Cause I didn't want to anger, annoy, or upset the officer. Who holds my FREEDOM within the palm of his hand. I feel afraid, and simply alone. Especially cause i was lost on what to put on the cashier check to give them for payments... God please watch over me on this one Amen.

I wish I saw these videos before I became a probation/parole officer (I do both) in Atlanta .. I wasn’t ready lol .. it’ll be a year in August. What type of things do you do on your off time to stay sane? Especially after having an “off” or difficult day at work?

Excuse me sis 👋🏾👋🏾, how much do you guys make per pay check dealing with all these folks

I had a very nice probation officer, she was very professional. I was on house arrest for two years and after one year, I decided I was going to start working out so I built a gym inside of my house but I couldn’t run so one morning I decided to go running at 6 AM, and believe it or not that’s when she showed up. I told her the truth I said you’re not gonna believe me, but I actually was out Jogging. She said I believe you, because I saw you. LOL but I still got arrested the following day. Not her fault, she was just doing her job.

I use to smoke cannabis and dealt with some other drugs but it's been years since then and i turned it around . I don't have no record and it's clean. Never even have had a speeding ticket., how hard do agencies take that into consideration when applying? Will this forever ruin my chances to work with the government? Thanks for the video!

Your Favorite P.O., In Texas probation/parole do carry handcuffs and pepper spray on these field visits right?

If ur 16 on probation do they check if your smoking a puff bar, like will it show if we smoked a puff ?

A question: Do probation officers lie when they say you don’t have to take any more U.A’s when your almost off of probation?

I am halfway through my associate's degree, pursuing my bachelor's in criminal justice. I am considering working in the parol/probation system.

Tell me about the children and restrictions of technology?

Can you join parr while on probation in florida!??

Can you make a video of a juvenile probation

do PO's always do house visits or do they only do that with some clients, like ones that may get violated often or be more trouble?

Funny how people are like “Ohhh I love my P.O” no. No you dont. No one does. You put on a facade so you can get off faster

What school did you attend and what did you take Im interested

Is it very difficult to study? I wasn´t really good in school, but I really want to do this!

My p.o. ignores most of my questions or requests. Forgets about me when they say they will get back to me. Im seriously tired of being ignored and forgotten. And i dont means days... i mean... a month will go by and no responses or answers.

Hi, I'm writing a script about a kid who was recently released from juvi and on probation. I just need to ensure a couple things for authenticity. Can you tell me how a new case is given to a PO? Like what's the process? Does a file just appear on your desk or is law enforcement involved?

Are you a probation officer or a parole officer? My interview is for a parole officer in Texas and do you know what the hours for that position.

What are the steps once you graduate college do you have to police academy ? How do you get trained

I just graduated college and I applied for a probation job, but then they responded and said they aren’t hiring because of Covid. :( I guess I have to wait and work somewhere else for now.

Do probation officers go through an academy or have to pass a physical fitness test?

What happens during a home visit? My P.O said he will search my common areas. Will he search my drawers and closet? I have one coming up, just don’t know what to expect.

Do I have to have a degree in CJ. Can I still be a PO if I have a degree in something else and experience ?

POs on West coast are actually CAT 1 officers and have arresting authority. Rehabilitation is still the priority and we still drug test.😣

I am interested in pursuing a job as a PO. Where do I look for an entry job?

Does your probation officer show up to your trial date in california?

So I’ve been on probation for almost 4 months for a deferred dwi and havent been drug test and only had phone 4-5 mins phone conversation with my po but this holiday he gave two months to call back and end smoking one week before the next phone conversation scared I’ll get a random drug test also had the breathalyzer in the truck since day one

I recently interviewed in my state for a Parole and Probation Agent and I think that I may have bombed it.

Great video...how do I become a po?

Can I become a P.O. if I have a mild case of PTSD? Afghan war vet. I was honorably discharged, and have had an extensive background check with Boeing for whom I currently work. I also had a DUI when I was 18 but is no longer on record. Before I move forward and pursue a law degree with my GI Bill it would be nice to know my eligibility given the circumstances... Thanks🙏

I wonder how you deal with special needs folk like those with Autism or Aspergers. I have Aspergers myself. Sam Truncale here. Amazing video!

Good morning

Have you ever seen Jelly Roll's 10 minute freestyle where he says "if my PO ask, i hang dry wall"? You ever had a probationer do something like that publicly?

what is the highest level of education you need to be a probation officer?

I have a parole officer interview in 2 weeks. Do you have any recommendations?

No weapons... You should be able to carry a firearm... God forbid you run into a psychopath and need a weapon to save your own life... Just always be careful and stay safe.👍👍🔥🔥🔥

I have my bachelors in Sociology and I finished in october of 2020 and I am still without a job. Any tips on trying to apply and on top of that in my are most places aren't hiring because of covid. Im 21 btw and could that be a reason why im not being hired.

do you have a masters degree? Would you recommend getting an masters than becoming a PO?

Can you become a PO with Legal studies BA?

Is it required to carry a firearm or is it optional?

I’m a criminal justice major and was considered being a p.o any advise ?

Hey do you need a degree to work to be a P.o.? i have backgrounds as correctional officer but no degree in criminal justice

Starting pay is 65 ish here

Its crazy that yall give everyone chances because I live in Texas & that's not my experience here. We have a saying parole is there to keep you out of prison & probation is there to send you to prison. Probation isn't a trap because people get chances. It's a trap because half the time yall judge us by how we look & don't really try to get to know their probationees.

Your a state or county ?

Did you go to police academy?

So how long you have been a P.O.?

Your favorite P.O., you all don't carry handguns with yall in Texas during field visits?

PO make pretty good money in CA!

What happens if you get fired

Do you have a B.S in CJ?

My Mom wants Me to be on Probation for 2 Years. cause She Thinks it’ll Help Me.

I have this crusty ass man, why can't i have you 😭

Are you a nice or mean officer?
