time you were sentenced, unless the probation officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different

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.
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

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 permission from the court.

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