A Probation and Parole Officer, upon information sufficient\n\nto give the officer reasonable grounds to believe that a probationer\n\nhas been charged with or found guilty of committing a felony or\n\nmisdemeanor offense, or has escaped from custody as provided in\n\nSection 443 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall notify the\n\nDepartment. If it is determined that the facts justify revocation\n\naction, the Department shall issue a warrant for the arrest of the\n\nprobationer and the warrant shall have the force and effect of any\n\nwarrant of arrest issued by a district court in this state. A\n\nprobationer shall, after arrest, be immediately incarcerated in the\n\nnearest county jail or intermediate sanctions facility to await\n\naction by the court as to whether the probation will be revoked.\n\nB. A Probation and Parole Officer, upon information sufficient\n\nto give the officer reasonable grounds to believe that a probationer\n\nhas violated the terms or conditions of probation, may notify the\n\nDepartment. If it is determined that the facts justify disciplinary\n\nsanctions, the Department shall issue a warrant for the arrest of\n\nthe probationer and the warrant shall have the force and effect of\n\nany warrant of arrest issued by a district court in this state. The\n\nprobationer shall, after arrest, be immediately incarcerated in the\n\nnearest county jail or intermediate sanction facility to await\n\naction by the court as to whether disciplinary sanctions shall be\n\nimposed. Upon approval of the court and the Department of\n\nCorrections, the probationer shall be placed in an intermediate\n\nrevocation facility for disciplinary sanction and intensive\n\nprogrammatic services in lieu of a first revocation. Repeated\n\nviolations by the probationer of the terms and conditions of\n\nprobation may result in a revocation proceeding.\n\nC. Any probationer for whom a warrant for arrest issues as\n\nprovided in subsection A of this section may, at the discretion of\n\nthe court, be placed in an intermediate sanctions facility pending\n\nor following any action by the court as to revocation of probation\n\nor required additional conditions to remain on probation. A\n\nprobationer may be processed by the Department on an expedited basis\n\nthrough any facility serving such purpose or may be processed\n\ndirectly by the intermediate sanctions facility.\n\nD. Nothing in this section shall preclude a district attorney\n\nfrom initiating an application to revoke a suspended sentence\n\npursuant to subsection A of this section without a recommendation\n\nfrom the Department or from initiating an application to revoke a\n\nsuspended sentence and referring the person to an intermediate\n\nrevocation facility without a recommendation from the Department\n\npursuant to subsection B of this section, when the district attorney\n\nbelieves that competent evidence justifies the revocation of the\n\nsuspended sentence.","path":["OK Code","Title 57"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os57.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"fb4457bd5034fc059317df02635dcc5b1aa4ac45b9219cda7178dc8d1b678996","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-57-57-516","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-57-57-52"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
