Description of Duties

Officer pursuant to the New York State Criminal Procedure Law. The incumbent is responsible for assisting probation officers in
a local probation agency in tasks which may include performing pre-disposition/pre-trial related duties such as interviewing and
screening individuals arrested and/or otherwise not yet adjudicated/sentenced for suitability for pre-trial release, making
recommendations for release, monitoring individuals released into the community whose cases are pending; and notifying courts
of case status. An incumbent may also serve as a probation department’s point of contact for transfer of records and files with
other probation departments, law enforcement agencies or courts. He/she also assists in the control and supervision of
probationers by performing tasks such as opening and closing cases; retrieving archived files; delivering documents to law
enforcement agencies and the courts; assisting with the collection of financial obligations; and processing intra and interstate
transfers. The work is performed under the supervision of a Probation Supervisor or higher level probation professional in
accordance with applicable rules/regulations, statutes and/or policies and procedures as directed by a Probation Director or
his/her designee.
