In most areas the actual min requriements is just a high school education,  but lets talk realistic\n\nBeing a state parole officer is a highly sought after position, most are employed though the state depart of Correction, so about 20 percent of all correctional officers already in the system will be applying for that position,  \n\nI have found that there is about 300 to 400 applications for any one opening ( more in some areas)\n\nSo you will need at least a Bachlelors degree and you can look into social work degree ( often better than criminal justice, since although it is a CJ job, you are considered to be there to "help" them by administration.\n\nNext you may have to get a job as a police officer first while trying for a position.\n\nnext there will be a test, written, only the top scores even get called in for a interview. so beating others on the test is of utmost importance.

Well, I guess this is something you should have thought of before you decided to become a criminal.  As for getting approved after four months, it's pretty simple.  Don't cause any problems while you are in prison.  Take a prison job or get job training if it is offered.  Whether or not you get paroled is up to you and the actions you decide to do while in there. And comprehend that you are in there because of something you did, do not try to make yourself out to be some victim jailed for no reason.

You may get a job in social services or in youth services.\n\nIf you include additional materials to include work in a crime lab.   \n\nAreas of teachings and mangement can be included with higher degrees.

If you haven't been convicted, you don't have a crime.\n\nI've known convicted felons who have served as probation officers after they've served their sentences and been released and accumulated a good record of community involvement and service. Parole officer, I'm sure, has much stricter guidelines.\n\nThis is such a state-by-state, county-by-county position that no one answer can be definitive. I would recommend talking to a local judge for his view on this, and possibly his sponsorship toward these positions.

Yes, they have a job to do.  Ask questions and record your answers.  I would think that most P.O.'s didn't have a real picture concerning their role in justice.  It would seem to me a very hard and depressing day in day out job.  So, be honest, be short, a yes or no will usually do and understand you don't know who just left the office or who the P.O. will see after you leave.  Would you like to be a Community Service Supervisor when you grow up?   Imagine telling your husband or children about your day at the office!  The law is very detailed in what they must record.  Just do as you are told and remember you will not want to do this ever again.  It is a form of punishment.

I have a CJ degree also. Right after college I worked at the pardons and paroles office. It's a good job for someone right out of college.

Most states corrections departments have web sites now.  They may not be up to the minute but the info may be there.  Otherwise, try the parole officer or district parole office.

it could very well mean that ur will be under some kind of supervision, under the sheriff's authority which is a bit unusual b/c its usually the parole officer, but it all depends on the crime u did commit.

If you were convicted of a VIOLENT crime, then No.  But if you are on parole for a NON Violent crime, then maybe.  You just need to go to a recruiter and ask.

If I were you, I would go ask someone from your local PD.  They could let you know what the requirements are for your department.

As mentioned above, the closest thing to it, is a tactical firearms officer.  You will need to join the Police as a constable, go through your probation of at least 2 years, and then apply for a transfer within the organisation.  They tend to prefer non ex-military people so they can train them the way they want them to be trained, rather than have previous training.  Military they shoot to kill, Police shoot to stop.  It is very difficult to get into, and there's ongoing training which is very hard too.  If you don't make the grade in one of your assesments, you're normally booted off.  Just make sure it's for you, and you'd be able to live with the worst case senario of killing someone.
