Find out about the many ways the Barbados Probation Service has helped individuals just like you

My probation officer stuck by me and offered advice during the toughest period of my life. Helped keep me off the block and out or prison. Now I have a young family and I’m raising my boys differently to how I was raised.
Shaquile Cutting - Previous Client
When I introduced my son to the probation officer at first he was not willing to open up but after working with Mr Samson for a few months I can see a huge difference in his behaviour and attidue.
