How dumb do you have to be? Your making your officers deal with dangerous FELONY offenders. Parole Officers, Police Officers, and even Security Officers are armed, but yet we are not professional enough to protect ourselves? Shame on you and the Judges in question.

The Judges and top administrators don't understand or don't care about the lack of sefety and dangerous situations that they place these officers in, and expect them to do their job in a "professional manner". I worked as a probation officer for a short time and believe that if things do not change, an officer is going to get hurt or killed. The sitting Judges need to be knocked off their high horses and shown what it is like to be in the trenches, and real world probation. I, for one, am voting for the names mentioned in POP's. I hope a change is near for the probation officers that are trying to make a difference and make my city a safer one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1160521458975045762006-10-10T18:04:00.000-05:002006-10-10T18:04:00.000-05:00Wow, these guys really are on your message!

I've kind of taken all your "stronger probation" stuff with a grain of salt, but if probation officers themselves support it, it can't be that radical. Very interesting to see ACLU and corrections officers supporting the same things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1160496595247358382006-10-10T11:09:00.000-05:002006-10-10T11:09:00.000-05:00I am not a specialist on the issues regarding prob...I am not a specialist on the issues regarding probation, nor would I pretend to be; this is the bailiwick of those best equipped by knowledge and experience to deal with. But having said that, in general, I've found that when the troops in the trenches grumble louder than usual about something not working, it's wise of the generals to take notice. This sounds a lot like that to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
