Stan Faddis-Probation Officer, Part 1
A number of months back I decided I wanted to write a book about my years as a probation worker in Santa Clara County. I started off strong and then lost interest. I don't know if I will ever finish the book but I already have too many interesting things written down to not share them with others. As a result, I have decided to post some of those chapters here on the blog. The working title of the book is “Diary of a Probation Officer.” Following is the beginning of the book: And So It Begins - Part One Working in Juvenile Hall This book is a memoir of my years working for the Santa Clara County Probation Department. My tenure ran from October 1984 to April 2011 and I held a number of job titles and assignments during those years. The book is a true account of my work experiences and observations at the Department. Only some names of my former coworkers have been changed in order to protect their privacy. Those whose true names are used gave me permission to do so. All
