What is the role of the Probation Officer?

After sentencing, a Probation Officer supervises the defendant to ensure the court order is being followed. The Probation Officer will refer the defendant to appropriate agencies so the defendant can fulfill the court’s requirements.


If the court order is not followed, the Probation Officer may issue a bench warrant or set a court date for the defendant to be seen on a Probation Violation.
