When can my parole officer issue a warrant for my arrest?

The Board will authorize the issuance of a warrant if it decides to act on a request for accelerated revocation (see above question). Also, your parole officer can ask a designated representative of the Chairman of the Board to issue a warrant if he has probable cause to believe that you have seriously or persistently violated the conditions of your parole and if: (a) the evidence indicates that you may not appear at a probable cause hearing or (b) if you pose a danger to the public safety. Your parole officer may issue a Division of Parole warrant for your arrest if: (a) your parole officer has probable cause to believe that you have committed a crime, are about to commit a crime or are about to flee the jurisdiction; (b) the violation is a basis for return to custody; and (c) the situation is one of immediate emergency that cannot await the issuance of a warrant by a designated representative. In such a case, it is likely that the Director of the Division of Parole will submit a request to initiate the revocation hearing process to a Board panel.
