Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Probation officers are responsible for conducting presentence investigations and reports, enforcing court orders, and arranging for drug testing. Parole officers also have similar responsibilities, but they only work with individuals who have been released from prison, whereas probation officers work with individuals who have been sentenced to community supervision instead of time in prison. Police officers do not generally handle probation or parole responsibilities. Community supervision officers is a term that can refer to either probation or parole officers, depending on the state or jurisdiction.
