About The Position
As a Parole Agent 1 with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Corrections, you will play a crucial role in promoting public safety and assisting individuals who are reintegrating into society after being released on probation or parole. This position is designed as a trainee role, where you will learn the essential skills needed to supervise offenders and help them navigate the challenges they face while serving the remainder of their sentence in the community. Your work will directly impact the lives of parolees and probationers, providing them with the support they need to successfully adjust to their new circumstances. In this role, you will be responsible for developing individualized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each parolee and probationer. You will monitor their conduct, serve as a point of contact for the public, and engage with families to ensure a comprehensive support system is in place. Additionally, you will participate in legal proceedings by providing testimony regarding the behavior and progress of the individuals under your supervision. Your duties will also include arresting those who violate the terms of their probation or parole, ensuring accountability and adherence to the law. Field operations are a significant aspect of this position, as you will be assigned a state vehicle to facilitate meetings with parolees in their communities. This hands-on approach allows you to supervise and guide their transition effectively, working closely with their employers, counselors, and family members to foster a supportive environment. The role of a Parole Agent extends beyond individual supervision; it involves collaboration and coordination with various stakeholders to promote successful reintegration and reduce recidivism. Upon successful completion of a 12-month training and probationary period, you will be eligible for promotion to Parole Agent 2, which comes with an increase in salary. This position not only offers a rewarding career in law enforcement but also provides opportunities for professional growth and development within the Department of Corrections.
