Conditions are an inherent part of probation. Judges set conditions in order to meet the goals for probation stated above. A probationer must comply with these conditions or else the court may impose a prison sentence or add more restrictive conditions to their probation.

Courts usually have a great deal of discretion when setting probation conditions, but that doesn't mean that judges can set whatever terms they want. Probation conditions must be reasonable. This means that the conditions cannot be vindictive, vague, overbroad or arbitrary. In addition, the conditions must be related to the protection of the public. Also, if a judge wishes to impose special conditions, those conditions must relate to the nature of the crime that the probationer committed.

Judges set the conditions, but probation officers enforce them. So if one of the conditions set by the judge was drug and alcohol treatment, yes you can be required to attend that treatment in lieu of a job or attending school. Remember if you are in jail you would neither be working nor going to school until you got out. You will have to schedule your other activities around the terms and conditions of your probation.

Is it a violation of juvenile probation if juvenile is arrested while on probation for unrelated disorderly conduct charges that were placed prior to the start of his probationary period?

Check with your probation officer. You have to tell him, anyway. It depends on what your conditions of probation state. In Tucson, there is a condition of probation that states you must report any contact with law enforcement. Failure to report contact would be a violation. Your best bet is to be upfront with your PO before he/she finds out, which they will. If the PO believes you are trying to hide or lie about this, it will only make it worse. Good luck and stay in school.


Can you be hired as a probation or parole officer in Idaho if you have taken drugs in the past?

It is very much unlikely, once you have committed a felony of any kind, most opportunity's of getting any job are reduced greatly, and any possibility in the past of joining any branch of law enforcement are made virtually impossible.Juvenile Probation Officer Qualifications, Certification, and TrainingCounties determine job requirements for juvenile probation officers. Education requirements range from having a GED, high school diploma, or college degree.Juvenile probation officer's employed after October 1, 2003 must be certified (030.02a,b,c). To be professionally certified, juvenile probation officers must complete an 80-hour basic training course at the Idaho Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Academy, followed by 40 hours of on-the-job site-specific training on the basics of juvenile probation officer work, and take a test. In some cases, probation officers have voluntarily attended additional POST training beyond basic training, such as verbal judo and instructor development. Depending on the county, juvenile probation officers may receive initial and ongoing training.The Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) partnered with POST to develop standards and certification. IDJC funds this work. In addition, the Juvenile Training Council was established to develop requirements for juvenile probation officer training. The members (who are appointed by IDJC's Director) are comprised of a county sheriff, a director of a juvenile detention center, the Director of IDJC, a magistrate judge, and a county juvenile probation administrator. Idaho probation officers developed and wrote the academy curriculum, which POST approved.
