Jessica’s Answer

To become an adult probation officer you will need to have a Bachelors degree. Some companys require the bachelors degree to either be in criminal justice, social work, or psychology. Then you will need some experience with working the people either with behavior problems, offenders whether it be juvenile or adult, some kind of case management experience, experience with crisis people, etc.
