Ch.8 Probation and Parole Officers
Law Enforcement, Treatment, and A blend of the two. Control, Social Services, and Combined. The broker/advocate role links clients to needed services, with little concern for the relationship between officer and client. The P/P officer as law enforcement agents is related to the control model of supervision in much the same way as the treatment or broker/advocate role is related to the social services model. 1.)Officers are not permitted to carry firearms based on either state law or agency policy. 2.) Officers are by statute peace/law enforcement officers, but the agency either restricts or discourages the carrying of weapons.
