About The Position

Each day, San Francisco Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) have the opportunity to contribute to community safety by actively engaging with at-risk youth and adults. Our department is firmly dedicated to implementing the most effective evidence-based, equitable, and trauma-informed practices to uplift and empower the individuals under our supervision. DPOs work in close cooperation with the County's criminal justice system and partner with Community Based Organizations to offer guidance and support to the population we serve. This is much more than a job; it is an opportunity to build a career of which you can be proud. The San Francisco Adult Probation Department values the individuality and diversity of justice involved adults, recognize the unique challenges they face, and invest in their success through services designed to help them permanently exit the criminal justice system. Our pretrial, reentry and rehabilitative services complement our supervision strategies by providing a unique blend of opportunity and accountability. We extend a continuum of integrated services to address our client’s criminogenic needs and empower them to become productive members of the community. SFAPD dedicates endless energy toward enhancing public safety, seeking victim restoration and accountability, providing structured and evidence-based supervision, and pretrial services all on the behalf of the Superior Court of San Francisco. The San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department serves the needs of youth and families who are brought to our attention with care and compassion; identifies and respond to the individual risks and needs presented by each youth, identifies and utilizes the least restrictive interventions and placements that do not compromise public safety; holds youth accountable for their actions while providing them with opportunities and assisting them to develop new skills and competencies; and contributes to the overall quality of life for the citizens of San Francisco within the sound framework of public safety as outlined in the Welfare & Institutions Code.
