OPEN COMPETITIVE
The Florida Commission on Offender Review, formerly known as the Florida Parole Commission, is looking to fill the **Commission Investigator

CS**. The Commission on Offender Review performs a vital role in Florida's criminal justice system by preserving the autonomy needed in postrelease decisions affecting inmates and exoffenders. The commission functions as a quasijudicial, decisionmaking body. Commissioners preside over weekly meetings at the central office in Tallahassee and various other state locations as required by statute. During these public proceedings, the commissioners make a variety of determinations regarding parole and other releases.

EXAMPLES OF WORK

Conducts probable cause (parole only) and final violation hearings for alleged parole, conditional release, addiction recovery, conditional medical release, and control release violators.
