ORDERED that the following Standard Conditions of Supervision shall be imposed
and included in judgments in criminal cases:

are authorized to reside within 72 hours of your release from imprisonment unless the probation
officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different time frame.

from the court or the probation officer about how and when you must report to the probation
officer, and you must report to the probation officer as instructed.

authorized to reside without first getting permission from the court or the probation officer.
4. You must answer truthfully the questions asked by your probation officer.
5. You must live at a place approved by the probation officer. If you plan to change
where you live or anything about your living arrangements (such as the people you live with),

probation officer in advance is not possible due to unanticipated circumstances, you must notify
the probation officer within 72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.
6. You must allow the probation officer to visit you at any time at your home or
elsewhere, and you must permit the probation officer to take any items prohibited by the
conditions of your supervision that he or she observes in plain view.
7. You must work full time (at least 30 hours per week) at a lawful type of
employment, unless the probation officer excuses you from doing so. If you do not have full-
time employment you must try to find full-time employment, unless the probation officer
excuses you from doing so. If you plan to change where you work or anything about your
work (such as your position or your job responsibilities), you must notify the probation officer
at least 10 days before the change. If notifying the probation officer at least 10 days in advance

72 hours of becoming aware of a change or expected change.
8. You must not communicate or interact with someone you know is engaged in
criminal activity. If you know someone has been convicted of a felony, you must not
knowingly communicate or interact with that person without first getting the permission of the
probation officer.
9. If you are arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, you must notify
the probation officer within 72 hours.
10. You must not own, possess, or have access to a firearm, ammunition, destructive
device, or dangerous weapon (i.e., anything that was designed, or was modified for, the specific
purpose of causing bodily injury or death to another person such as nunchakus or tasers).
11. You must not act or make any agreement with a law enforcement agency to act
as a confidential human source or informant without first getting the permission of the Court.
12. If the probation officer determines that you pose a risk to another person
(including an organization), the probation officer may require you to notify the person about
the risk and you must comply with that instruction. The probation officer may contact the
person and confirm that you have notified the person about the risk.
13. You must follow the instructions of the probation officer related to the conditions
of supervision.
14. You must comply strictly with the orders of your physicians or other prescribing
source with respect to the use of any prescribed controlled substances. You must report any
changes regarding your prescriptions to your probation officer immediately (i.e., no later than
72 hours). The probation officer may verify your prescriptions and your compliance with this
paragraph.
