When a person on probation fails to comply with the conditions of their sentence, a Violation of Probation report may be submitted to the sentencing court. The court may then issue a warrant for that person.
The Warrant Unit performs investigations that lead to the apprehension of wanted probationers. The prompt execution of these warrants serves to insure that non-compliant probationers are brought before the court in a timely manner. The Warrant Unit utilizes current technology and coordinates with other law-enforcement agencies to apprehend wanted probationers.
By having a full-time Warrant Unit, the Probation Department is able to utilize its resources to apprehend fugitives, thereby increasing the safety of the community.
