Build a career that makes a difference—become a probation officer. This will be used as a registry list for current and future vacancies.

Job Summary:

Probation officers provide casework services to probationers at the direction of the Superior Court under the provisions of evidence-based practices and consistent with the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration. The duties of a probation officer include supervising the caseloads of assigned probationers, meeting with probationers in their homes or at their places of work, conducting interviews and social or pre-sentence investigations, evaluating probationers' progress, performing searches, and making arrests.

Because probationers under Court supervision are convicted felons and/or persons with domestic violence convictions, these job duties may expose the probation officers to physical harm from probationers, family members and others in proximity to the probationers. As a result, the probation officer position is designated as a safety-sensitive position in accordance with ACJA § 6-106(A) and ACJA § 6- 107(A).

All probation officers must "demonstrate, by proficiency testing, competency and understanding of the physical and verbal techniques and tactics presented at the defensive tactics training academy." ACJA § 6-107(F)(1)(b). The proficiency testing is based upon whether they can perform the skills or tactics (or comparable alternatives) necessary for self-defense. We are seeking candidates who understand that accountability is most effective when paired with opportunities for growth.

The ideal probation officer can set clear expectations, use communication, problem-solving, and evidence-based practices to support meaningful behavior change, recognizing that effective probation work involves holding individuals responsible for their actions while helping them achieve meaningful, lasting behavior change.
