Hennepin County includes the City of Minneapolis and its suburbs. Our bargaining unit consists of over 300 Probation, Parole and Family Court officers. In addition to negotiating our labor agreements, AFSCME Local 552 also develops a legislative agenda where we seek to improve the delivery of field services and maintain the high professional standards for Probation and Parole officers in Hennepin County and Minnesota
