The duties of a Community Supervision Officer include office and field work, which both require the supervision of criminal offenders who may present physical danger to the officer and to the public. In the supervision of these offenders, essential duties require light to moderate physical exertion, including prolonged periods of walking and standing, physical dexterity and coordination, and use of self-defense tactics. Because a Community Supervision Officer must effectively deal with the possibility of physical altercations and is subject to possible moderate to heavy physical exertion, applicants must be physically capable. Must be able to sit and stand for prolonged periods of time. Moderate lifting and walking is also required. Both office and field work are required of all Community Supervision Officers, and both are essential job functions. Regular attendance and timeliness at the jobsite is required, and is an essential function of the job.

Applicant must pass a criminal history check, physical, and drug test. Must have a valid Texas class C driver's license.
