responsibility demanded of law enforcement professionals, honesty, sound judgment, integrity, and
physical fitness are required of everyone in the field, along with knowledge of sociology, psychology,
government, and law.

challenging, rewarding field, you will help young people and their families navigate the judicial

As a youth services professional, you will work closely with law enforcement, courts, and probation
services and as a liaison with community agencies. Strong written and verbal communication skills,
an ability to work with diverse populations, and computer knowledge are helpful in preparing for
this career.
