If a person was put on probation and given a probation officer and that probation officer told the probationer to call in once a month pay there fines and fees and do there counseling and they will be fine but then that probation officer quits or was fired and the probationer was given a different probation officer do the rules given by the original probation officer still apply to the probationer
Hello ****, the rules of probation should be determined by the court order, not the individual probation officer. Therefore, even if the officer changes, the terms of your probation should remain the same. However, the new officer may enforce the rules differently. It's advisable to discuss this with your new probation officer or a lawyer.
