You have been working as a probation officer for approximately 6 months now. Your supervisor has given you your 6-month employment evaluation, which was excellent. As a result, your supervisor has informed you that he is to choose one of the probation officers on his staff of 45 to be appointed to a committee on alcohol use and abuse. This committee is being put together by the County Board of Supervisors. Your supervisor asks you to be part of this committee, which you excitedly agree to do.
You are assigned to address prevention and treatment within your committee. The committee is made up of professionals from various disciplines, including the following:
Probation
Parole
Corrections
Addiction
Substance and alcohol abuse

Choose 1 of the following populations to focus on:
People experiencing homelessness
Veterans
Active-duty military personnel
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others (LGBTQ+)
People with disabilities
