The Whitfield County Juvenile Court Probation
Officers are the direct contact agents with the youths on probation.
Probation Officers are assigned to children who attend specific
schools so that the officers work in a small geographic area.
The officer's job is to help the child succeed on probation, but
they are also responsible for enforcing the directives issued
by the Court.
The Probation Officers perform frontline duties by visiting with
the youthful offenders at school, home and other locations on
any given day or night to ensure compliance with the Court's orders.
Any violation of the Court's orders by a juvenile offender is
referred to the assigned Probation Officer for recommendation
to the Court for consequences. The Juvenile Probation Officer
is required to maintain a detailed record of contacts and conduct
of their assigned juvenile offender.
