Visit your state’s prisoner release authority home page. Look for a discussion of supervisory agents and policies governing their use. Sometimes, this information is found under a FAQ heading or career opportunities. Next, visit the homepage of a prisoner release agency that has a different policy on firearms for parole officers. For example, if your state requires that they carry firearms, find one that does not or makes it optional. Can you determine from these web pages why each agency has adopted its respective policies? Prepare a summary of what you found and which one makes the best argument.
