The role of Juvenile Probation Officers in the Serious Juvenile Offender (SJO) unit is not to act as police but rather to engage and work with youth and their families while maintaining public safety. Rather than mirroring the Council on Police Training (COPT) in all respects, the training requirement for SJOs should mirror the training required of adult probation officers. The SJO unit currently completes the training offered by DOC for its adult probation officers. This training does follow the firearms training portion of the COPT training, which is appropriate since the SJO unit is the only unit in DSCYF that is permitted to carry firearms in their duties. Other parts of the COPT training, however, are not appropriate for and should not be required for the SJO unit.

An Act To Amend Title 11 And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Specialized Probation And Parole Officers, Assigned To The Division Of Youth Rehabilitative Services.
