STANDARD CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION

because they establish the basic expectations for your behavior while on supervision and identify the minimum tools needed 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. i

court or the probation officer.

hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.

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

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 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.

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.

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