informed, report to the court about, and bring about improvements in your conduct and condition.

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

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

from 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.
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 a 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 permission from 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 that person about the risk.
