DEPUTY CHIEF UNITED STATES PROBATION OFFICER

APRIL 1992 TO OCTOBER 1995

Assisted the chief probation officer in organizing and managing the probation office to ensure the expeditious handling of all investigations and case supervision. In the absence of chief probation, assumed all duties necessary to operate the office.

Sole responsibility for the assignment of all cases in the Western District of Pennsylvania and ultimate accountability for the supervision of over 800 probationers and parolees requiring liaisons with the courts, parole commission, health and welfare agencies, and various community agencies.

SPECIAL PROJECTS:

Developed a comprehensive database program for the uniform collection, and recording of court ordered financial obligations to provide the court and the supervising probation officers with immediate and accurate information on payments. The system also identified delinquent cases and generated a payment notice letter. Collections increased significantly after implementing this system. This program was reviewed at the national level with positive comments.

SENIOR SUPERVISOR, UNITED STATES PROBATION OFFICE

WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

SEPTEMBER 1980 TO APRIL 1992

Eight probation officers were directly supervised, two of whom were assigned cases with special drug aftercare conditions. Duties of the supervisor consisted of directing and managing the work assigned to the officers, and conducting annual performance evaluation. As an adjunct to supervisory responsibilities, management of the drug aftercare program was maintained, including the yearly solicitation for the contracts, the quarterly monitoring of the programs, and the general day-to-day operations. A control system was initiated to ensure that the aftercare program complied with contract standards. In this system, monthly audits of the invoices submitted by both the aftercare program and the laboratory conducting drug screens were compared to provide the necessary control. This system is still in place.

SPECIAL PROJECT:

In supervising eight probation officers, field work practices varied greatly from officer to officer. With the promulgation of a nationwide system for classification and supervision of cases, a local field profile was developed to evaluate the officer's compliance with national standards. By using the data collected from the profile as a supervision tool, contacts with probationers and parolees increased nearly 30 percent.
