What happens if I fail to report to my parole or probation officer for a scheduled meeting?

If you fail to report to your parole or probation officer for a scheduled meeting, you can be charged with a violation of the terms of your parole or probation. Depending on the terms of your parole or probation, the officer may issue a warrant for your arrest. If the officer does not issue a warrant, they may order an increase in the requirements of your parole or probation. For example, if you are on parole in Washington, your parole officer may place increased restrictions on where you can go, who you can see, and what activities you can and cannot participate in. In addition, you may have to comply with more frequent meetings and drug and alcohol testing. If you violate your probation, the officer may take you into custody and send you to jail. The judge who sentenced you to probation has the discretion to revoke or modify your probation based on how serious the violation is. In some cases, the judge may also choose to extend the length of your probation or impose additional consequences such as fines, community service, or jail time. It is important to keep all of your scheduled meetings with your parole or probation officer to avoid any potential legal trouble. If you are unable to make a meeting, reach out to your parole or probation officer as soon as possible to make alternate arrangements.
