What type of work is categorized as "Fieldwork"?

The type of work categorized as "Fieldwork" is primarily characterized by activities that are performed outside of a traditional office setting, which often includes direct interaction with individuals under supervision or in community settings. Fieldwork for probation and correctional officers typically involves monitoring probationers, conducting home visits, attending court hearings, and engaging with local resources or community services.

This distinguishes fieldwork from tasks that are conducted within the confines of the probation office, such as office-related administrative duties or managing databases, which are focused on behind-the-scenes operations rather than direct interaction with individuals or the environment. Additionally, assignments related to legal research do not fall under fieldwork, as they are primarily desk-based tasks dealing with information gathering and analysis rather than practical, real-world engagement in the field.
