Probation Office - Gainesville, Georgia

Two officers Young and Dess, very professional and respectful. Treated me like a person not a number. Great and answering emails and call backs.

Friendly staff, hours are inconvenient (so I provided the hours hoping to save one person from doing what we did).
We drive over an hour to get here and they’re closed for lunch. We have to take off work to get here because the hours are business hours.
Also, court will tell you that you’ll be in the probation system “next week” and even the probation front desk lady said “I don’t know why they tell people that, come back next week same time” and now that’s two days we have to take off work for this silliness.
It can all be prevented if communication was a thing.

This is By Far the worst place to get put on probation in the whole wide world I thought hell was bad but this place is bad you call to talk to somebody about your loved one being in jail and all they can tell you is I can't tell you nothing you gotta talk to them the officers tell you i am going to see your loved 1 and then they not show up I am telling you this so you can stay away rude Officers there not here to help your loved one they are here to make your loved one life a living hell

The worse and rudest place
Or officers ever. Never pick up the calls, I wonder they even work at all. You can’t even ask questions if you do she be sarcastically said things with attitude. I don’t know why it’s so hard for them to talk and treat other human beings kindly.

This is what I imagine he'll as being. Giving you just enough hope that your suffering is all that much worse & profoundly felt. Deeply pained to your soul. And yes, they drug test everyone. Regardless if your initial charge was drug related or not.

Once they have you, they do not want to let you go. Charging unconstitutional exorbitant amounts of money for every thing. Breathing fee & victims of not breathing fund fee surcharge. Lights fee. Chair fee.

I'm doomed.

These people think that they own you. Rude doesn't even describe them. Try to call and they never answer. If you are on probation and want to be off it, all you have to do is pay them the fine and any other money you may be forced to pay. To my knowledge, probation has done nothing for this county. It's just a hassle for the citizens. If you have money, you do ok with them. If you're not as fortunate, you will probably have a hard time. And they love sending you back to jail. I actually saw a probation officer brag about putting people in jail while he was doing drugs. The funny thing is my brother got him as a probation officer and he told him "remember me?" Needless to say my brother didn't even ever go back and nothing was ever done. Point is not all of them are on drugs but some have been for sure and it's not right. This place and any other probation is a scam.
