The Training Committee has made a “Probable Cause Hearing Guide” available on the ICAOS website under Training/Supplemental Materials. This guide is intended to assist probation officers who are unfamiliar in conducting probable cause hearings to ensure that the requirements of Rule 5.108 are fulfilled, as well as provide direction and an outline for probable cause hearings. The guide includes a list of the minimum due process requirements, a sample script for a hearing officer plus an example of a summary/report.

The Probable Cause Hearing Guide is also located on the Training Resource Reference Table and on the Documents/Training page.
