Abstract: Abstract The Probation Office is part of the Home Office — the part now called the Ministry of Justice. It employs approximately 21,000 people and is structured into 42 areas, with a London-based Head Office. Each Area is headed by a Chief Probation Officer, supported by a small number of assistant Chief Officers, many Senior Probation Officers and Probation Officers. Some of the services under Probation include dealing with 200,000 cases daily, assisting courts with 246,000 pre-sentence reports and 20,000 bail information reports each year, and supervising more than eight million hours of unpaid work in the community by offenders each year. There are many specialist sections to the work, e.g. high security, alcohol and drugs programmes, sex offender work. There are also functional specialists, as in any organisation (finance, HR, IT etc).
