ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERVISION OVER THE ACTIVITIES OF COURT PROBATION OFFICERS

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the institution of administrative supervision over the activities of court probation officers, introduced into the Act on Court Probation Officers and in force since 2023. Internal supervision is exercised mainly by the presidents of regional and appellate courts, while external supervision is carried out by the Minister of Justice. The boundaries between these forms of supervision are not clearly marked, creating a risk of excessive political influence, and supervisory powers have not been entrusted to the presidents of district courts, where most probation officers actually work.
