Probation: (Guidelines for successful completion)
You have been placed on Probation. This means for the time stated by the Judge you must abide by all the terms
he/she has listed for you. If you fail to comply with the terms of Probation it may be revoked. While on Probation
you must maintain monthly contact with your Probation Officer as directed. It is also necessary to be sure that
the information in the Probation Office remains current. If you change jobs you must inform the office within 24
hours. If you fail to comply with any of the signed, written terms of Probation the Court will be notified and
your Probation may be revoked. If you are found to have violated a term of your Probation, you could serve all
or part of your suspended sentence or have your Probation extended.
