Employee Spotlight
Michael Prince
Harris County Juvenile Probation Department
Michael
Prince has been an integral member of the HCJPD team for 32 years. He began his
career in 1989, working as a part-time detention officer and then later became
a Field Services Juvenile Probation Officer.
In 2000, he found his passion when he joined Human Resources. To this
day Michael has remained working in HR, helping employees reach their career
aspirations.
Michael
enjoys recruiting at colleges and universities and cherishes the relationships
he has built in the community over the years. He is never more satisfied with
his work than when he witnesses people he has recruited or coached happy with
their accomplishments and work at the agency.
Away
from the job, Michael can be found participating in his favorite hobby fishing,
or providing encouragement to other men who are fathers. He has faithfully
served his church in the youth and music ministries for over 30 years.
Service
is a trait running throughout Michael’s family. His wife has been an educator
for over 31 years, and his only sibling, his brother, is a retired Internal
Revenue Service Agent. The family also
shares in caregiving for Michael’s 86 year- old mother.
Both
of Michael’s children are musicians who attended the High School for the
Performing and Visual Arts. His son is a
violinist studying music at the University of Oklahoma and his daughter is a
graduate of Rice University in Social Policy Analysis and Sociology and is
currently in her first year of law school at Yale University.
Michael
is a great model of dedication to family, faith and public service. HCJPD is
grateful he is on our team.
