Posted almost 5 years ago Ok, here's my new dilema.... in the rules of my being newly placed on probation, one of the rules is to report ANY contact with law enforcement to my PO. Would you consider this forum, in a NON-enforcement capacity, as "Contact"? Yes I intend to be open, honest and upfront with my PO, and considering who I used to be, 90% of my online activity is with current/former LEOs. I realize that answers here are non-binding. I was just placed on probation on 06/24/08. I have made my initial telephone contact with my PO and have an in person interview / intake meeting scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Please understand, I'm just trying to get an idea on the whole concept. It's very upsetting to be on the "WRONG" side of the badge after all these years. The last thing I want to do is become further embroiled with the dark side of the force. Thanx - Mike Too many youngsters get their hands on firearms without proper supervision.

No, they want to know when: *you've been pulled over *you're questioned about an incident *you're a suspect in a crime *you've been summoned for any reason
Your PO doesn't care about casual conversation with LEOs...he wants everything on an official capacity...it's just easier to say "tell me when you have any contact with LE" than stating all the above. *Edit, I apologize that I responded to your question although I'm not a PO or CCO. You may double check the question with anyone that is though. ¡GØÐ HņH ÑØ ƒÜR¥ †HÂÑ À Pϧ§ËР؃ƒ PÁRņRØØPËR!

| Posted almost 5 years ago Well, I was a PO and a PO Supervisor for 10 years. Riot is correct in that they only want to know if you've had contact with law enforcement that could result in a violation of your rules & conditions. It might be good to let them know that you do have LEO friends, but it might not. You will have to judge that for yourself. If you get a jerk for an officer, you might not want them to know that. Some PO's might think you were a suck up or something and then get an attitude toward you. I knew officers who would have been cool with it, especially given the circumstances, but I've known others that would just look for a reason to write a violation report, as well. BTW - what are probation fees in your state? They are $40 per month in Oklahoma. |

| Posted over 4 years ago P.O in La. for 22 yrs and Riot is dead on right. I don't care who your friends are.; Shellgame is also right. Watch out for the Cowboys, always be polite and remember, we are not on supervison you are and make sure you see your officer when you are due to be seen. Supervision fees here are $50 per month.

| Posted over 4 years ago Ina, I know what you went through and I still pray for your family. I agree the online contact does not count only in person counts. There really is no proof that anyone online is really an LEO. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I'd echo what everyone else has said. These casual conversations in an online discussion forum are not 'police contact' as it relates to your Order of Probation. However, it is always good practice to be open and forthcoming about information to your PO. Your PO has a lot of other s*heads to deal with and I doubt they would be too concerned about your online dicussions. Best of luck and sorry to read of your loss and circumstances behind this case. Supervision fees in Michigan are $10-135, based on income and not to exceed 5% of monthly income. |
