Probation officers come to your house?

Question

Live in Ohio and on Probation, no one EVER said anything about coming to the house, not once. Also, it's no where on any of my probation/court paperwork. I've only discovered this tactic from reading some of these Yahoo questions. So if they never said anything, that probably means it's not gonna happen correct?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Unless you are on informal supervision, home visits are a part of probation, so you can plan on having one eventually.

The only way the to be sure is to talk to your PO.

Answer 3

Probation is always under supervision. It is very likely that you might receive a visit from an officer.

Answer 4

It does happen and it doesn't have to be on your paperwork for them to be allowed to come to your house.  Usually when they come to your home it's to make sure you really live where you say you do.  If they have no reason to believe you are falsifying where you live chances are, they won't come to your house.  Probation officers are so overworked with huge caseloads.  If they can stay in their offices they are perfectly happy to.
