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

the court or the probation officer.

hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.

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 10 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.

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.

person and confirm that you have notified the person about the risk.
