Sometimes the courts will give you the option of probation or parole. It just depends upon the crime and how you are at following what you are told to do.

Whether you get probation or parole you will have to check in with an officer. If you are out on probation then it will be a probation officer you will see. If you are our on parole then you will see a correctional treatment specialist.

Both of these types of officers are in place to help monitor you and what you are doing. They are in charge of checking with you and making sure you do not commit anymore crimes while you are free.

Sometimes you might have to visit them at their office and other times they have been known to come to your home or your place of employment. They will even talk with the members you are residing with to make sure you are doing the right things.

If you are on probation and was in trouble for substance abuse then you might have to do random UA's. This means you could be on a color code and if your color is called you will have to go in and drop. The results are then reported to your probation officer.

If you are on parole then you might have to wear an ankle bracelet. The ankle bracelet is so you can be monitored at all times. The bracelet has to stay on all the time and can only be removed by the proper authority. If for some reason you decide to remove it yourself your parole will be over and you will go back to jail.

Probation and parole are both an option when you have committed a crime. It is up to the courts if you are offered either one. Both have very strict guidelines that you will have to follow or you will find yourself in jail finishing up your sentence.

If you get probation or parole it will be notated on your criminal records. Your records will show what the crime was you committed, where you were arrested, the outcome of your charges, the dates involved and it will show if you went to jail or was on probation. If you were on probation or parole it will tell when you completed them.

Anyone that does a background search on you will see all this information. Criminal records are public records which means a person does not need a reason to look they just can.

These criminal records not only follow you the rest of your life, but can stop you from doing many things. They could stop you from getting a good job, a promotion, credit or even renting things.

Sometimes the records can be expunged depending on the crime that was committed and how long ago it went on your record. It is best to contact an attorney and see if this is an option for you and your criminal records.
