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 could be in violation of the terms of your parole or probation. Depending on the specifics of your case, this could lead to revocation of your parole or probation status and a return to jail or prison. In Kansas, when an offender is on parole or probation and they fail to comply with the conditions of their release, the parole or probation officer can take action to revoke their parole or probation status. The process for revoking parole or probation in Kansas begins with the parole or probation officer filing an affidavit with the courts. The affidavit is an account of why the parole or probation officer believes the offender has violated the conditions of their release. Once the parole or probation officer files the affidavit, the offender is given a hearing date by the court where they can present their side of the story and ask for leniency. If at the hearing the court finds that the offender has violated the conditions of their parole or probation, then the court will revoke the parole or probation and the offender will have to complete the remainder of the sentence in jail or prison. However, if the court finds that the offender did not intentionally violate the conditions of their release, they may still be able to receive leniency. In either case, the offender should be aware that any violation of parole or probation can have serious consequences.
