by probation officers to keep informed, report to the court about, and bring about improvements in your conduct and condition.

release from imprisonment, unless the probation officer instructs you to report to a different probation office or within a different time

convicted of a felony, you must not knowingly communicate or interact with that person without first getting the permission of the 

probation officer.

10. You must not own, possess, or have access to a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or dangerous weapon (i.e., anything that

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.
