BPP - Institutional Parole Officer I, II

About the role

Institutional Parole Officers interview offenders at more than 100 TDCJ units and 254 county jails across the state. Much of their time is spent preparing detailed offender case summaries. A case summary contains details about an offender's criminal, social, psychological, and institutional adjustment history. The case summary is completed after an in-depth interview between a Parole Officer and an offender. Officers perform a number of other duties such as: verifying offender related information, processing status letters that inform offenders whether or not they were approved for parole, answering offenders' written and verbal questions, contacting offenders for acceptable residential plans, and responding to inquiries from the public. THIS IS A CAREER LADDER POSITION.
