The purpose of this chapter is to specify policies and procedures relating to parole revocation hearings. The following regulations set forth procedural guidelines. They do not create procedural or substantive rights in any person, and should not be interpreted or applied in such a manner as to abridge rights already guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The regulations should be interpreted to have sufficient flexibility so as to be consistent with law and to permit the indeterminate sentence review board to accomplish its statutory purposes.

Notice of arrest.
Whenever a community corrections officer is notified of a parolee's arrest, he shall submit a notice of arrest to the board (and the attorney general) within twenty-four hours, excluding weekends and holidays. Such notice shall include a concise but complete statement concerning the circumstances of the arrest, reason for arrest, and the date the community corrections officer found there is probable cause to believe that the parolee violated one or more conditions of parole. The community corrections officer shall state whether or not an order of suspension, arrest, and detention has been:
(1) Issued, with the approval of a supervisor;
(2) Issued without the supervisor's approval;
(3) Requested but not approved; or
(4) Not requested.
The community corrections officer shall state reasons for subsection (2), (3), or (4) of this section.

PDF381-70-060
Notice of suspension and request for arrest.
Whenever a community corrections officer requests the arrest and detention of a parolee, he shall issue an order suspending said parolee's parole, and submit a copy of the order to the board and the attorney general within twenty-four hours of service.
[WSR 91-14-029, § 381-70-060, filed 6/26/91, effective 7/27/91.]
PDF381-70-070
Whenever a community corrections officer requests the arrest and detention of a parolee and issues an order of parole suspension and the parolee is not apprehended and detained within a reasonable period of time, the community corrections officer may close his interest with a report which will include the disposition of the unserved suspension warrant. Copies of such report will be forwarded to the board and the attorney general.
[WSR 91-14-029, § 381-70-070, filed 6/26/91, effective 7/27/91.]
PDF381-70-080
Whenever a community corrections officer suspends, arrests, or detains a parolee, such parolee shall not be reinstated on parole or released from custody on bail or personal recognizance, except by the board and the issuance by the board of an order of reinstatement on parole to the same or modified conditions of parole.
[WSR 91-14-029, § 381-70-080, filed 6/26/91, effective 7/27/91.]

Whenever a community corrections officer has suspended a parole and after investigation determines:
(1) That the alleged violations are unfounded;
(2) That the seriousness of the alleged violations is mitigated by new information; or
(3) Otherwise believes that further custody is deemed unwarranted and a parole revocation hearing is unnecessary;
he shall submit a written request or report with recommendations to the board. The board will accept and act on telephonic reports of the community corrections officer or supervisory personnel pending receipt of the officer's written report within ten working days. The board may exercise the option of administrative reinstatement when not recommended by the supervising community corrections officer, when such reinstatement is consistent with criteria identified within WAC 381-70-030.

Conditional release pending hearing.
An administrative review of the parole violation report and of information submitted by the alleged violator or his attorney shall be conducted by the board after the parolee has been arrested, to determine probable cause for suspension. If probable cause is found then a determination is made whether the violation requires a revocation hearing, and to determine whether there is reason to allow the parolee to be conditionally released on parole pending the revocation hearing. Such administrative review shall take place within fifteen days after the service of the order of parole suspension, arrest, and detention.

Whenever an alleged parole violator is served with the factual allegation of the violation of the conditions of parole and with an order suspending parole, the community corrections officer shall advise the parolee orally and in writing of his right to an administrative review to determine probable cause and whether there is reason to allow the parolee to be conditionally released pending the revocation hearing. The community corrections officer shall also advise the parolee of his right to an on-site parole revocation hearing, and of his rights and privileges pertaining to each proceeding.
