Imagine you are a probation officer assigned to supervise a new client recently sentenced to three years of probation for a non-violent drug offense. Your client is 27 years old, has a part-time job, no high school diploma, and a history of addiction and prior misdemeanor convictions for petty theft. Your task is to write a professional response (1-2 pages) outlining how you would supervise this individual effectively.

Your response within your paper should address the following: 

1. How would you build rapport and establish a professional relationship with the client? 2.  What conditions of probation would you prioritize and why? 3.  What type of supervision model would you use (e.g., traditional, intensive, rehabilitative), and how would it meet the client’s needs?
2. What resources or community programs would you refer the client to (e.g., drug treatment, job training, education)?
3. How would you respond to a technical violation like a missed appointment or failed drug test?
4. How would you balance your dual roles of support and enforcement?
