A parole officer is an officer of the court who meets with people after they get out of prison or jail. Parole is a supervised monitoring of individuals after they leave prison, including making sure people have a job, stay off of drugs and alcohol, and keep a curfew set by the court. The parole officer monitors and checks a person, sometimes just by meetings in their office, but sometimes by checking a person in their home. A parole officer has authority to arrest a person and put them back in jail if they break the rules of parole, which are the conditions for staying out of jail.

Does a felony warrant for a violation of probation ever go away?
No. Once a felony warrant is issued, it has no expiration date. If, for instance, a person violated a felony probation and subsequently fled the immediate jurisdiction until after the original term of the probation, the warrant would still be active and enforceable. Even if the subject(person) of the warrant contested the facts which prompted the warrant being issued, that person would still have to surrender into custody to fight the basis of the warrant. Hiring an attorney to contest the warrant from a distance will also not work, as attorneys are Officers of The Court and obligated to not harbor or assist in concealing a "wanted" person under warrant. In criminal law, the State always preserves the right to impose the maximum sentence up to and until the last say of probation has been served with all conditions being met during that period. It never just "goes away".

And of course different states may have different laws concerning employing felons. What it all comes down to is of course the employer. The best thing to do is be honest about the past. Trying to keep that a secret probably won't work. The employer should know right away and then they will have to decide if they want to take a chance on someone with a criminal record or not.
