What is involved in being supervised? How often will I need to see the PO?
Probation & Parole Officers will determine the frequency of contact for each offender. The frequency and nature of contact (such as office visits, home visits, telephone calls, family contacts, job site visits, and treatment provider contacts) will depend on a variety of factors. These include your offense, prior criminal history, stability of home/ family/ work situations, record of compliance, violation history, risk to the community, and your own behavior. Most offenders who meet supervision requirements faithfully, complete all special conditions, maintain steady employment, and stay out of trouble with the law are supervised less and less as time goes on. Some probationers may even qualify for minimum supervision (“banked” cases), which means that although they are still on probation, they no longer have to report to a PO.
