Tom Roe is a 'general p
Tom Roe refers to himself as a "general practitioner.” who handles different cases and different individuals, having different problems. He is a probation officer. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Roe meets with those on probation in Syracuse and North Webster. “You, as a probation officer, play a lot of roles.’’ Roe said. He commented he is whatever is needed by the individual and treats each differently. but the same. “We try to be consistent, but at the same time we make exceptions.” he explained Roe’s new schedule of making stops in Syracuse and North Webster developed recently. “It’s just to be able to keep in touch with the various areas of the county better,” he said. His partner. Bill Reneker visits Pierceton and Silver Lake. “I think we do a fairly effective job,” Roe said on the pair servicing the county of 55,000 people. just need a few more bodies.” he added. Just formed last week is the Kosciusko County Juvenile Justice Task Force. Lay persons, agency heads, and the probation officers met with interested persons at the initial meeting. “We've got some good ideas and some good people working in th** task force,” Roe commented. Speaking engagements for April with a PT A group and Concerned Citizens groups are planned to create awareness and develop a format for volunteers. “But the main thing that's needed, is community participation.” Roe outlined. Most of the juvenile referrals come from the police departments. Roe said. Other juvenile referrals are made by the schools or parents. Unfortunately, most of the problems brought to probation officers by schools and parents could be handled by the parents and schools. Roe said. Roe commented on the county's not having a juvenile detention center. Foster home situations could be used instead of putting the juvenile in jail or sending them to the home environment “But a halfway house shelter-facility for interim care is what's needed,” Roe said. He added that sometimes sending the child to jail is a better alternative than returning them to the home. Contrary- to what some people believe, a probation officer is not a truant officer, or parole officer. Instead, he deals with individuals placed on probation by the courts. In working with those on probation, weekly, semi-weekly or monthly meetings are arranged. “I'm taking in a lot more young people, as I get them into groups.” Roe said. He ex“A big noise at the office can be a little squeak at home."
