and the job listing Expires on February 20, 2026

Placer County is now hiring for Deputy Probation Officer I – Field in Auburn and South Placer.

This entry-level class in the Deputy Probation Officer series. This class is distinguished from the Probation Assistant by performance of the full scope of sworn probation duties, such as search and arrest and is distinguished from the journey level by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties in both court and field supervision of adults or juveniles. Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same independence of direction and judgment on matters allocated to the journey level.

Since this class is typically used as a training class for Probation Department division assignment, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience. Employees work under immediate supervision while learning job tasks.

To be successful in this position, you must have equivalent to Bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university with major course work in corrections, criminal justice, or a closely related field. No professional experience is required.
