District Court Probation

The Judge told you to report to Probation Services after Court....what you need to do now

The Court uses formal supervision to ensure completion of court requirements

Probation: The action of suspending the sentence of one convicted of a jailable offense and granting him or her provisional freedom on the promise of compliance and good behavior.

Deferred Prosecution: Defer- to put off until some future time. There is no conviction on your record. At the end of a successful completion of the treatment program and the supervised probation period, the charge will be dismissed.

You must call probation immediately for an intake appointment or further instructions if you reside outside Chelan County . Probation will mail to you a personal data form to be filled out and brought to your appointment. This intake appointment is mandatory. If you fail to make contact or fail to appear for the intake appointment, this could result in you serving your suspended jail sentence.

At the time of your appointment, your probation officer will review with you the sentencing and probation conditions. If it is necessary for you to receive treatment or counseling not provided by Probation, you will be referred to the appropriate outside agency at your own expense. You will be required to sign a release of confidential Information form.

Following a review of your past criminal history, your case will be classified according to risk. Your risk classification level will determine your reporting requirements and you will be so informed. Keep in mind that you are free to schedule an appointment to see your probation officer, even if you fall into a non reporting risk level.

Most probation appointments are scheduled for one-half hour, but determined on a case by case basis by your Probation Officer.

Noncompliance in any form (new arrest, treatment failure, not keeping required probation appointments, unable to locate) is reported to the Court with a recommendation that you be removed from probation. This will result in a show cause hearing being scheduled. You must appear at this hearing before the Judge. Probation supervision is suspended until the Judge has decided what to do.
