I would like to obtain some information on becoming a probation officer.
While the U.S. Department of Labor seems to put probation officers into the larger grouping of social workers, the California Employment Development Department offers some great information about careers as a probation officer or parole agent. The site includes job descriptions, working conditions, training, salary and advancement, education requirements, etc.
