Deputy Probation Officer I - Probation

Probation Officer

Do you desire a position where you make a difference in people's lives and serve justice? If so, the place to find that dream job is with the Mohave County Superior Court and Probation.

The Mohave County Courts and Probation is a high-performing organization, with a collaborative team of innovators who work to improve our Courts and the services we provide. We hire people who will share our vision of making a difference in people's lives in the communities we serve.

Probation officers provide casework services to probationers at the direction of the Superior Court under the provisions of evidence-based practices and consistent with the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA). The duties of a probation officer include supervising the caseloads of assigned probationers, meeting with probationers in their homes or at their places of school/work, conducting interviews and social or pre-sentence/pre-disposition investigations, evaluating probationers' progress, performing searches, and making arrests.

Because probationers under Court supervision are convicted felons, felony adjudicated delinquents and/or persons with domestic violence convictions/adjudications, these job duties expose the probation officers to a risk of being assaulted by probationers, family members and others in proximity to the probationers. As a result, the probation officer position is designated as a safety-sensitive position in accordance with ACJA §6-106(A) and ACJA §6-107(A). All probation officers must demonstrate, by proficiency testing, competency and understanding of the physical and verbal techniques and tactics presented at the defensive tactics training academy, ACJA §6-107(G)(1)(b). The proficiency testing is based upon whether they can perform the skills or tactics (or comparable alternatives) necessary for self-defense.

This is an ongoing recruitment. Positions will be filled as vacancies occur. If no position is immediately available, qualified applicants may be placed on a hiring register for future openings. Initial review of applications will begin Tuesday, February 10, 2026. Preference will be given to Arizona Certified Probation Officers.

To apply, please read and follow the Superior Court Application Instructions under the "How To Apply" tab. Complete and submit your application, resume, letter of interest online.

Mohave County has an extensive benefits package with exceptional health, wellness, and work/life balance offerings, financial & retirement benefits, comprehensive leave program, and more. Check out our Benefits Guide for full details!
