>Trackers are also known as Probation Officer Assistants.  They do some of
>the legwork so that Probation Officers can work more directly with the
>juveniles, their families, and the schools, counselors, etc.  Some of the
>things Trackers do are:  provide transportation for juveniles to therapy,
>groups sessions, community service sites, home from study table; monitor
>community service work projects (roadside pickup, painting the shelter,
>Forest Service crew); collect urine samples for testing; install electronic
>monitoring devices; check on kids who are on home detention; provide
>mentoring and role modeling.  Most of the trackers are college students who
>are studing criminal justice, social work, psychology.  Often they do not
>become involved at Youth Services until they are juniors or seniors, hence,
>some are not with us very long.  Being a Probation Officer requires a
>college degree in criminal justice, social work or some other human service
>field and one year's experience in a related setting.  Information supplied
>by Elaine Broyles, Director, Youth Services
