I consider it an honor and privilege to serve the hard-working and dedicated men and women of the San Joaquin County Probation Department. Our shared values include excellence, the importance of the individual, team concept, ethical conduct, professionalism, and the importance of community, and a safe and healthy environment, which is reflected in our actions and communicated to our co-workers, clients, and the community. Our mission is clear; Supporting a Safer, Stronger Community, and our purpose is to increase public safety, support victims, and reduce recidivism among our clients. We are committed to learning, growing, and evolving to enhance our level of service to the community.
Our greatest assets are our department employees, and we are continually looking for innovative people, who are a reflection of our community, to be a part of our success. If you are interested in one of our continuing employment opportunities, I encourage you to go through our website and then contact the Human Resources Department of San Joaquin County for specific employment and processing requirements.
I invite you to learn and grow with us as we continue to navigate change in the justice system. Please check back with us often, and we welcome your comments and suggestions.
