Adult Probation

The Probation Department monitors and enforces the conditions of sentence ordered by the Clallam County District Court I Judge. Individuals placed on active supervision with the Clallam County Probation Department will receive a letter in the mail with their required reporting date and time. Attendance at this initial meeting is mandatory. If you do not have a mailing address, you must contact the Probation Office immediately after court.

It is the individual’s responsibility to maintain regular contact with their assigned probation officer throughout the duration of active supervision. During the first appointment, the probation officer will review all the conditions of the judgment and sentence and provide the information and resources necessary to help ensure successful completion of probation.

The individual will meet with their assigned Probation Counselor on a regular basis. We believe in a team approach and work closely with treatment providers to support your success and ensure compliance with the Court’s orders.

In most cases, probation requirements include completing an evaluation, following all treatment recommendations, avoiding new law violations, reporting to Probation as directed, and paying all required fees and fines in a timely manner.

If the individual fails to comply with any of these conditions, the Probation Department may file a violation petition, requiring the individual to appear in Court to explain their non-compliance. Failure to appear or to provide an adequate explanation may result in the Court imposing part or all of the suspended jail time from their original sentence.
