This is because if a cop walks around in a uniform, the criminal would no to steer clear of them. A plain clothes detective/cop can walk around and discreetly watch the criminal with out being detected as a cop.

What would a parole officer wear to work?

Parole officers in Maine look like plain clothes cops---they dress however they want. I don't know if its the same everywhere.

If parole officers wore a uniform, you'd see them coming a mile away and shut off the lights and close the shades. :)
