Almost all states require probation officers to have a Bachelor's degree, which is generally a 4 year degree. It is preferable that degree is in Criminal Justice but it is not always necessary. Parole officers in many states do not need a college degree, and that may be what the previous answer was referring to when stating college was not a requirement. Advancement in probation often correlates with advancement in education, i.e. a Master's degree.

The Probation Department is regulated by STC and must complete a certain amount of training hours to be a Probation Officer. It varies by state. In California, it is approximately 240 hours of training to start. This includes basic training on the job of a PO, understanding the penal code, writing reports to the court, legal restraining/handcuffing techniques and search and seizure to name a few. Every year, the PO must attend training, and this varies by department. The minimum is 80 hours per year of additional training, and there are always courses offered if a PO is so inclined. If a PO will be going into the field and carrying a firearm, they must qualify every quarter at the shooting range in addition to taking firearms training. Police officers/Sheriffs deputies only have to qualify once or twice a year.

They could try speaking to the head of the parole board; but, this is not likely to be effective, and it could lead to at worst reversal of the parole decision. They could try taking their appeal to the Lieutenant Governor or the Governor, but the same is likely to result. The fact is that your loved one is on parole, and will remain there for as long as the DOC determines he should or his parole expires. The best course of action to take is to just take what comes and try to to adapt. It will pass and you can move on with your lives after parole is discharged.
