I'm a good mom.  Have raised three children sucessfully and I was wondering how you become a parole officer.  \n\nI dont mean to insult any other parole officers out there, but I do however feel that my experience with being a mom would be rather beneficial to becoming a parole officer.\nAny help would be great... ie: what type of tests, educational requirements... What the salary is?\nthanks,\nAnnie

Well, you do as my daughter is doing, take criminal justice courses. She is going for something different, but at this point, she could work with detectives or be a parole officer, and i can tell you this, my ex sister in law did it, and she got her arsse whipped twice, by females. So go into it with some caution.

I am not a cna, but I did work two to three jobs which kept me away from home.  I just wish that I would have listened to my son and daughter when they asked me to stay home with them instead of leaving all the time.\nMy daughter is 38, and my son is 37.  I could kick myself a thousand times, because now my son is stationed on the East coast and I do not see him often as I would like to.\nI see my daughter because she lives in the same town where we live, but I do not get to see my son that often.  \nI just hopes that your husband wakes up, before it is too late because in his later years he will regret it.  \nHe can take it from a man that took his job too serious, plus drinking during that time did not help at all.  \nI know from a man's experience by you talking to your husband, because my wife used to talk to me about it, and I did not listen either.  \nMy son reminds me of this when he has a couple of drinks under his belt, but I cannot bring back the mistakes that I made.  \nI hope and pray that he does not fall into the same category that I am under.  I think about it everyday, and I know that you cannot turn back the clock.  \nThis is a honest answer from me.  I am not asking for sympathy, I just hope when your son talks to him, he will stop and listen to what he is saying to him.\nGood Luck to all of you.

Im a truckers daughter, Its a community of its own if your truly wanting to be a truck driver notify a local company and ask them what truck driving school they reccomend.\nDo you have your CDL's? \nAlso, beware of company's wanting you to haul oversized loads.. They pay good money but will run you ragged, because there are some states you cant travel thru with these types of loads.\nIt's a solitary lifestyle, with no kids has your wife thought about joining you in this venture, I know several driving teams that are husband and wife..\n\nGood luck in your venture, and thanks for serving our country for the past 6 years.

Well what I wanted to be always bothered my mother.  She's a very strong and independent woman who feels you should never rely on anyone otherwise you'll be let down.  Anyway, I've always wanted to be a great wife and an even better mom.  I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom so that my children wouldn't have to be in daycare.  I know this isn't considered a career but I've served in the military, been a used car salesman, worked retail, worked at a movie theater and even worked fast food and this is by far the toughest and most rewarding job I've ever had.  This always worried my mom.  She was afraid I'd get married and he'd leave me and I have all these kids with no money.  She also though I'd be bored out of my mind!  Well, I found my prince charming and we are happily married and expecting our second child this Christmas.  I honestly couldn't be happier and my mom sees this (and knowing what a good man my husband is) is no longer worried about me not earning an income.  When my children are all in school, I do want to get a part-time job so I can bring some kind of money into the house but as long as my kids are at the house, that's where I'll be.

You should be over age 21, no record of domestic violence, no felonies, clean driving record, no assault convicitons. Have good eyesight and hearing. Ability to run, climb, etc. Weight in proportion to height. No psychiatric illness. Decent credit record. You can take criminal justice courses at college. You can contact the academy in the state you want to work in and ask about putting yourself through pre-service program (pay your own way to become POST certified). Being POST certified makes you a better hiring candidate.  Starting out as a dispatcher can be good (you'll become certified for that too). Dispatching isn't easy though, so don't think of it as "the bottom:".  It's high stress and you MUST be able to multi-task to a high degree. Otherwise you need to be able to keep your cool, handle stress and confrontation, deal with mess (dead bodies, feces, vomit, all that fun stuff) and have good common sense. POST stands for Peace Officers Standards and Training. There should be a POST in your state.  If you want to work and train in another state go to their POST website and academy website.  There are also pre-service programs for dispatchers.

OK, It was a long time ago. The Orange County Sheriffs Dept. in California. About 250 people applied and took the written part. of that only 50 people made it. Then it was off to the physical test. It was a cake walk. About 2 weeks later I had to show for a verbal interview. Before the interview they gave me a stack of paperwork to do. Lots of questions, Too many questions. Questions about drugs, date, time and place. Questions about sex. Date, time, place and who. questions about family and their friends.\n After all that. It came down to the interview. A big cop told me in the interview, That my job history was too short and I didn't look like I wanted to be a peace officer by the fact I never was in the explorer scouts and never took any law classes. (nevermind I just got out of the Marine Corps) Needless to say, I didn't get the job. Now i live a life of crime. lol\n\nReally.......good luck

I was a stay at home mom.  I just went through a divorce and had no money when it first started.  They have Lawyers that will go by your income.  Even if you have no income they are out there.  They are called Probono lawyers.  I don't know if that is how you spell it.  Call any lawyer and tell them you have no money can they direct you to a probono lawyer.

Check with the state parole board.\n\nGenerally, the information is confidential, unless you are a prospective employer, and/or the parolee signs a waiver.\n\nWhat is your reason for wanting to contact the parole officer? Do you suspect that the parolee violated his parole, or commited a crime?

You can just go to the police station and ask. Or talk to one when they pull you over. \n My mother has been a cop for almost 23 yrs. When you reach 14 yrs of age you can become a Explore (which is like a cop in training)  I use to be one. This gives you the experience and the knowledge you need to become a cop. Just ask your local station if they have this program! (Explores program)       Most do! Good luck!

Amazing.  \nYou are doing exactly what you should be as a Mom...protecting your children.  How did you learn this from a mother who won't protect her own...or even her grandchildren???\n\nCheering for you!

Ok calm yourself I have an idea call the parole officer and ask her if your brother could prove that he was at work at the time that he was suppose to contact her would it help him not to go to jail in other words call his employer after speaking with the parole officer and ask would they be willing to vouch for your brother's presence at work at the time your brother was to contact parole officer this might help and tell your brother to tell her that he tried to contact her but he could not get through he probably called her but did not leave a message on answering machine which could have helped the matter but you and your family should call the parole officer first before he turn himself in and talk with her and see how that goes sometimes a caring family can help the matter she might see his support system and give him another chance try it any or all family members speak out! This might help ask her could you all have a meeting with her mom dad sister family members friends anyone and everybody that cares she might be impress and it might motivate her to help instead of hurt your brother chances of not going to jail she is the key to him not going to jail so you must talk to her. Ask her what can your family do to prove that he did call but did not leave a message would proving that he was at work at the time will that help. God Bless your brother and family!

You cannot be a police officer with a felony conviction. However, you can still pursue a career in the field of criminal justice. A strong possibility is a career in alcohol and drug counseling. Many ex-felony offenders have become excellent counselors in the criminal justice system. Also, some state criminal justice divisions (e.g., Texas Department of Criminal Justice) will allow an ex-felon to become a state parole officer, once 15 years has elapsed with no further criminality. It is not impossible to work in the criminal justice system with a felony conviction, but certain avenues are closed, most especially law enforcement. Good Luck and don't give up! I am pleased you had a good PO, many of us do try.

I will pass on some advice I was given just a few years ago when I went to nursing school and had children in aprox. the same grades:  Chef Boyardee and Franco American are fantastic cooks!!!  Believe me, my kids hate the stuff now but we existed on it for the 2 years I was in the program. You will NEED to set up some time for yourself to study. What I did was set a bedtime 7:30 and all the time up until that was for me and the kids. After they went to bed I cracked my books, sometimes I could crack them while they were up but I never retained what I read. Don't be afraid to ask for help is also very important. Kentucky had some childcare grants---FREE that allowed me to afford childcare for those times when school was cancelled or had a half day. You can get some tips by getting in contact with the nursing dept. at the school you plan on attending and find out if such a program exists in your state. You are also better off getting the basic req.s out of the way first. You won't have time if they throw in some community service or clinicals after class. The hours are never what they tell you they are going to be. I also used multi colored pens to rewrite my notes at the end of the day so that important info stuck out.

Has he looked into what the local municipalities or the city want in minimum qualifications to become a cop? He should really look into it now to make sure that if it involves college to place his applications in before the application deadline. Also, some of the community colleges around me offer a police academy. However, there is one thing to remember is that not every student has the inclination or desire to attend college. If he does not have the inclination or desire, it will be hard to convince him otherwise. I do wish I had better news regarding convincing him about going to college. Good luck!

I know, isn't that just a dumb fu**** up policy? I mean, what about people who commit serious violent crimes, like rape and murder? They could be convicted, do some time, go on parole, get rehabbed, and get money to get a college degree... Seriously, the application doesn't even ask.\n\nAnyway, if the information you have presented is accurate and you are as sincere as you sound, I definitely encourage you to keep asking people about this (although I realize you may not want to reveal this to people) to get more info and to build support and also advocate for yourself via all the avenues available to you and then some. Good luck!
