Parole officers in more than 30 offices in Georgia have cleared out their desks to make way for a transition to mobile-based offices, a move which has earned national attention. Officers in Gainesville are one of a handful of offices to get the perks of sophisticated mobile technology, paired with a home base. “The Gainesville office will remain open, but the aspect of having parolees regularly come in to the office, or the officers regularly coming in to do their work, we’re moving that to the virtual office concept,” said Steve Hayes, spokesman for Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Parole.
