Today’s episode features State Probation Officers. Probation officers work everyday is to ensure the safety of our communities. They promote safety by supervising an offender and ensuring compliance with any court orders. They help them find the resources they need to complete their supervision while holding them accountable so they kind of serve as part counselor and part law enforcement officer. They assess needs with individualized supervision plans specific to each offender. Without a doubt, being a Probation Officer takes heart.
Today’s Guest is Kimberly Jefferson, Senior Correctional Probation Officer with The Office of Community Corrections in the State of Florida. She loves what she does because she gets to help people when they are at a crossroads in their lives. She works alongside the state courts system, community partners and local law enforcement to help an offender integrate healthily into his/her community. Kim brings compassion and solutions for those she supervises and is a breath of fresh air for a critical piece of our society that needs more love, patience and understanding.
