Juvenile Probation Officers (JPOs), employed by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD), work out of 29 local offices. The court sets the terms of probation with recommendations from the JPO, District Attorney, and the youth’s attorney. JPOs maintain contact with clients in placement. Aftercare (formerly parole) refers to the term of supervision that occurs once a juvenile is conditionally released to the community after serving a facility commitment term. Clients in aftercare are subject to being returned to detention or facility placement for rule violations or other offenses.
