"The challenges are much greater now and the work is harder but the resources available to help children and families are greater also."     -Vicki Kurtz, 1971 Every juvenile probation and institutional officer has a story about a child, a family or a situation that remains unforgettable through the years. Rarely is a case routine or boring. Men and women who choose juvenile probation as a career are to be honored and admired……it’s not just another job.
