Community Supervision Officer

COMPANY DESCRIPTION:

The Taylor County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD) strives to protect the community while promoting the rehabilitation of offenders. It upholds the integrity and independence of the judiciary by responsibly managing individuals sentenced to community supervision, previously known as adult probation. The department oversees offenders from the courts of Taylor, Callahan, and Coleman Counties, working to ensure justice and public safety.

The role includes maintaining accurate case records, completing risk assessments and case plans, making office and field contacts with probationers, coordinating referrals to treatment or support services, and documenting all supervision activities. The officer must follow departmental policies and CJAD standards, attend court proceedings and trainings, and exercise sound judgment in managing cases and enforcing sanctions when violations occur.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong interpersonal, communication, and conflict resolution skills to work effectively with diverse populations, including offenders and other professionals.
• Ability to manage cases, write reports, document, and maintain accurate case records.
• Organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines effectively.
• Proficient use of technology, including computer systems, reporting tools, and digital databases.
• Bachelor’s degree required. Degrees in criminal justice, corrections, psychology, social work, or a related field are preferred.
