RABINOWITZ, Justice,
dissenting in part.
I am in agreement with the court’s construction of AS 33.15.200 which requires that absent exigent circumstances a parole officer must secure a warrant from the Parole Board or Board member, that the warrant can issue only on probable cause, and that there must be a written statement indicating probable cause which is to be filed with the Parole Board or Board member. My disagreement with the majority’s non-constitutional construction of AS 33.-15.200 is that I find no persuasive policy reasons for not requiring .the Parole Officer’s written statement of probable cause to be made under oath.
