You will be expected to maintain accurate records, prepare detailed reports for court proceedings, and testify when necessary. A thorough understanding of criminal justice procedures, rehabilitation strategies, and community resources is vital.
The ideal candidate will have a background in criminal justice, social work, psychology, or a related field, along with experience working with at-risk populations. You must be organized, resilient, and committed to promoting public safety and positive behavioral change.
