by probation officers to keep informed, report to the court about, and bring about improvements in your conduct and condition.

release from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different time 
frame.

the court or the probation officer.

hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.

doing so. If you do not have full-time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the probation officer excuses 
you from doing so. If you plan to change where you work or anything about your work (such as your position or your job 
responsibilities), you must notify the probation officer at least lb days before the change. If notifying the probation officer at least 10 
days in advance is not possible due to unanticipated circumstances, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of 
becoming aware of a change or expected change.

convicted of a felony, you must not knowingly communicate or interact with that person without first getting the permission of the 
probation officer. 
9. If you are arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours. 
10. You must not own, possess, or have access to a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or dangerous weapon (i.e., anything that 
was designed, or was modified for, the specific purpose of causing bodily injury or death to another person such as nunchakus or 
tasers). 
11. You must not act or make any agreement with a law enforcement agency to act as a confidential human source or informant 
without first getting the permission of the court. 
12. If the probation officer determines that you pose a risk to another person (including an organization), the probation officer may 
require you to notify the person about the risk and you must comply with that instruction. The probation officer may contact the 
person and confirm that you have notified the person about the risk. 
13. You must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions of supervision.
