Which of the following is NOT listed as a duty of probation and parole officers?

• A. Enforce court orders
• B. Develop and implement community-based correctional workshops
• C. Complete risk assessments and case management planning
• D. Issue parking tickets

Answer: (D)

Probation and parole officers focus on supervising individuals under community-based supervision, enforcing the conditions set by the court, and guiding rehabilitation to reduce the risk of reoffending. Enforcing court orders is a direct part of their role because it involves monitoring compliance with probation or parole conditions and taking appropriate action when violations occur. They also develop and implement community-based correctional workshops to support rehabilitation and direct programming that helps offenders address needs such as anger management, substance use, or vocational skills. Completing risk assessments and case management planning is essential for tailoring supervision, monitoring risk, and coordinating services.

Issuing parking tickets, however, falls outside the scope of probation and parole duties. Parking enforcement is handled by bylaw or police agencies, not by correctional officers. Therefore, issuing parking tickets is not listed as a duty.
