[@kylestokes4501]

If I ever do Probation, I hope I get someone like you.😂. Never be intimidated, your Professionalism intimidates me. They’ll be calling you “Your Honor” one day.

[@kennisemarche]

Almost at 1k!!!!!! Love your videos as usual

[@YourFavoritePO]

Thank you so much for your support. You have no idea how much that means to me! 😁

[@blessing6096]

Do you have any time management planning advice for new po’s who have a family another job etc

[@jembo231jem4]

Awesome videos keep it coming, I watch my father do this my whole life. When I became of age I went the military route now retired, I'm interested in following his footsteps. My only concern would be age, do you think it would be harder starting at an older age then younger? or in this field age is just a #

[@YourFavoritePO]

thanks so much for watching! 🤗 In this field age is definitely just a number. I've found that many departments like to hire veterans. I would say go for it!

I work with Brittany and started after 20 yrs in the military.

Number 1 tip Get used to being lied to everyday. Document but verify

[@YourFavoritePO]

this made me laugh😂. There will be lots of fabrication on the daily! lol

Thank you Ethan!

[@callmebignaj]

Loved the video I do have a question if you were to do another video like this: 1. Have you ever been put in a situation where you feel verbally attacked by the offender or take something to heart that they said to you?

[@karenb2873]

What a coincidence about your past employment working for a lab because thats what I currently do.....i started off as a lab tech then ended up as a Laboratory Medical Biller for a city hospital for over 20 years....im ready to start this new chapter in my life....I got a 💪 feeling im going to end up with a detective or captain as my long term companion.....😄.....even tho they say law enforcement men are KRAZY 😳......LMMFAO😂😂😂

[@YourFavoritePO]

Yeah, I had some good times in the lab. I've heard that several times as well about LEO's being crazy and hard to deal with! 😩😂. Good luck with that one Karen, lmao. Something tells me you can handle one tho! 😉

[@ashleyruiz4119]

What is your work clothes requirement? Do you guys have to wear the full PO uniform as well? And to you get to drive a probation car when going to court etc?

[@YourFavoritePO]

we do have county cars that we drive to court and home visits with the defendants. In my department we wear business casual clothing. We have county shirts we wear with jeans on Fridays ✨ I'm happy we don't have uniforms 😁

[@brendaaguero8697]

could you do a video speaking to a parole officer in texas and what academy is like I was just offered a job with parole and will be attending academy in august

[@YourFavoritePO]

Yes ma'am. I will get on it! Congratulations!

[@ThatBoyMay89]

Hey I'm about to become a P.O. what is the paperwork like. I seen in one of your other videos, you have a like 120 cases a month. Like how much paperwork (time) goes into one case?

[@YourFavoritePO]

It varies, but can be quite. About sometimes. I've spent up to 4 hours working on a motion to revoke before 🥺, and that was for one defendant.

[@ThatBoyMay89]

@@YourFavoritePO Good-night! 4 hrs! Ehh.. but thanks, I'm a little nervous about starting the position.

[@YourFavoritePO]

😂 it's good to be nervous! You will enjoy it, especially if you like talking to ppl!

[@crazyycamper]

You ROCK!

[@Londonandfriends13579]

I’m super timid in general but really want to get into the criminal Justice field. How do you get over that?

[@destinypetteway884]

Practice speaking in the mirror and hearing yourself talk.

[@almieamitchell6097]

Do you have to watch your social life as a P.O ? Who you hang around ? Social media ? Does your society have to change ?

[@YourFavoritePO]

Definitely have to censor your social media. But everything else can remain the same

[@nglashay93]

I really love your videos. I have a question, what subject did you get your degree in?

[@YourFavoritePO]

Psychology 😁

[@burtthebeast4239]

Great video!!!

[@YourFavoritePO]

Thank you! I love your icon picture btw. It's so eye catching 🔥

[@destinypetteway884]

I applied and I have to go take my written test

[@Obzcure214]

Are you told when to have us drop?or do you just do it when you suspect a probationer is doing drugs?

[@YourFavoritePO]

There is a standard for how frequently defendants are asked to submit a drug test. But if it is suspected, we typically will UA more frequently.

[@Obzcure214]

Your Favorite P. O. Ok cool thank you for answering

[@blahblah941]

Are you still a P.O? I am about to graduate with my Bachelor of Social Work and seriously considering becoming a P.O.

[@YourFavoritePO]

Hey! I'm consulting now. I help ppl with all things probation.

[@destinypetteway884]

Currently waiting to start work so I can get a gym membership

[@brendaaguero8697]

so probation doesnt have academy like parole in texas?

[@YourFavoritePO]

Nope, lol

[@reaze222]

what did you do when u used to work in the lab

[@YourFavoritePO]

I was a laboratory technician testing blood for different diseases and cancer cells.

[@313poo9]

Can you become a probation officer if you have a record that had been expunged?

[@YourFavoritePO]

Depends on what the charge was
