General Statement Of Duties:

Distinguishing Factors:
Chief Probation Officer is distinguished from a Deputy Chief Probation Officer by directing the operation of an entire Probation Department for a Judicial District. The Chief Probation Officer reports directly to the Chief Judge. The Chief Probation Officer is a classified, non-certified position that is considered at-will and may be terminated at any time with or without cause.
The criterion to determine the Chief Probation Officer’s classification level is based on the FTE of Judicial Officers within the district per Court Services verification and the number of counties within the district. The weighting for the score is 25% for counties and 75% for Judicial Officer FTE.
The point factor and level salary information is as follows:
Counties: 25% of total score (points x 1 factor)
1 to 2 = 1 point;
3 to 4 = 2 points;
5 to 6 = 3 points;
7 or more = 4 points
Judicial Officer FTE: 75% of total score (points x 3 factor)
1 to 8 = 1 point;
9 to 16 = 2 points;
17 to 24 = 3 points;
25 or more = 4 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive I- 0-5 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive II- 6-9 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive III- 10-12 points
Chief Probation Officer & Court Executive IV- 13+ points
An upgrade in classification level will occur if the points calculated based on the two factors increases to the next level. Should the district's points fall below the current incumbent's classification level, the classification will remain frozen until the position is vacated, or the points meet the qualifications of the current classification. Court Executives who administer more than one district shall have points for each district added together to determine the level of classification.
