The PTSO shall monitor and clearly document all Misdemeanor Supervision functions while showing professional judgment. The PTSO shall provide firm, fair, and consistent misdemeanor services in a team setting which is supportive of a crime-free lifestyle. The PTSO must be able to organize, manage time effectively, and keep records orderly and up to date. The PTSO must exhibit skills necessary to work in a team environment with a positive attitude.
