A typical day

Office appointments in the morning: people on your caseload reporting in, drug tests, checking whether they are working, in treatment, and paying restitution. Then field work, driving to homes and jobsites to verify that people live and work where they say. Back at the desk, writing a presentence investigation report for a judge, which means interviewing the person, their family, the victim and the police file. Afternoon in court, testifying about a violation. It is social work and law enforcement in the same eight hours.
