How does my parole or probation officer know if I have been arrested for a new offense?

Your parole or probation officer will typically know if you have been arrested for a new offense through a number of means. First, the police department in the city or county in which your offense was committed will contact the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation’s (DPP) central office to report your arrest. Your officer will then be notified of your arrest through the DPP’s internal system. Additionally, your parole or probation officer will receive notification of your arrest from the courts when you enter a plea or are scheduled for a hearing in connection with the new offense. Lastly, your parole or probation officer may also receive notification of your arrest from the arresting officer themselves or from any media reports related to your arrest. As such, it is important to remember that your parole or probation officer may have knowledge of your new offense even before you have been convicted of the crime.
