The profession of probation officer, with its vital goals and difficulties which need to be met, reflect the problems that occur in the modern family. The probation officer plays an important role in the counseling system. This is the result of both the statutory tasks assigned to them and the primary goals of the profession of probation officer. The article presents selected results of research conducted in 2015 and 2016 among professional probation officers from all over Poland, who presented their position regarding, for example, the understanding the role of probation officer, the goals of the job and the most difficult activities. The opinions of the respondents confirm that the role of probation officer goes far beyond control functions, and the effects must be viewed in the long-term dimension.
