What are the consequences if I fail to meet with my parole officer?
If you fail to meet with your parole officer in North Carolina, the consequences vary depending on the type of parole you are on. If you are on an “active” parole status, not meeting with your parole officer can result in a technical violation. This violation can lead to a range of possible consequences, including a warning, a fine, increased supervision, being placed on house arrest, a reprimand, or even re-incarceration. If you are on an “inactive” parole status (meaning that you have already completed your sentence or other conditions of parole) and you fail to meet with your parole officer, you may be reclassified as “active”, meaning that you will be subject to the same possible consequences as someone on an active parole. Additionally, if you fail to meet with your parole officer, they may request a warrant for your arrest. It is important to note that if you feel that you are unable to meet with your parole officer for any reason, it is important to contact them as soon as possible and explain the circumstances. This can help to avoid or lessen the consequences. Additionally, if you are facing a technical violation of your parole, you may be able to appeal the decision.
