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

permission from the court or the probation officer.

the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.

probation officer to take any items prohibited by the conditions of your supervision that he or she observes in plain
view.

7) You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of employment, unless the probation officer
excuses you from doing so. If you do not have fulltime 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 10 days before the

circumstances, you must notify the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected

has been 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.
