Description

Are you an experienced Probation Officer?

 

The County of San Mateo Probation Department is seeking current officers for the position of Deputy Probation Officer - Lateral.

About The Position

Each day, Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) have the opportunity to contribute to community safety by actively engaging with at-risk youth and adults.

DPOs work in close cooperation with the County's criminal justice system and partner with Community Based Organizations to offer guidance and support to the population we serve.
