The Department of Community Supervision (DCS) provides team members with the opportunity to do just that!


DCS is a nationally recognized leader in the field of community supervision. Our innovation and use of technology is what sets us apart from other community supervision agencies. We pride ourselves on being the largest law enforcement agency within the state of Georgia with the great responsibility of monitoring, coaching, and providing opportunities for successful outcomes for individuals under parole and probation supervision. At DCS, our motto is “One Officer, One Family, One Community”.


Additionally, as an integral part of the criminal justice system, you will serve alongside Local, State, and Federal agencies to promote public safety. DCS offers the most up-to-date and specialized training and provides opportunities for growth within our agency. Our commitment to evidence-based practices is pushed forward by our pursuit of “next practice” innovations that will enable us to continuously improve our contribution to the lives of those we serve.


DCS leverages technology in order to offer employees a flexible schedule and a “hybrid” (virtual and in-person) work environment. As a State of Georgia employee, you will receive 12 paid holidays per year and accrue annual and sick leave monthly. The DCS employee wellness program allows up to 3 hours per week for physical fitness activities in order to put our employees on the path to good health.
