Who Does What
Probation Officer
|
Probation officers (sometimes called POs) work in two primary areas. First, they prepare presentence reports, making an in-depth search for all facts about the offense and the offender that might have an impact on the appropriate sentence under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Second, they perform postsentence supervision of offenders. In some districts, probation officers handle pretrial services work as well; other districts have a separate pretrial services office.
