Copy as parenthetical citation

(1) (a) The department shall ensure that the court is notified of violations of the terms and conditions of probation in the case of probationers under the department's supervision, or the Board of Pardons and Parole in the case of parolees under the department's supervision when: (i) a sanction of incarceration is recommended; or (ii) the department determines that a graduated sanction is not an appropriate response to the offender's violation and recommends revocation of probation or parole. (b) In cases where the department desires to detain an offender alleged to have violated his parole or probation and where it is unlikely that the Board of Pardons and Parole or court will conduct a hearing within a reasonable time to determine if the offender has violated his conditions of parole or probation, the department shall hold an administrative hearing within a reasonable time, unless the hearing is waived by the parolee or probationer, to determine if there is probable cause to believe that a violation has occurred. (c) If there is a conviction for a crime based on the same charges as the probation or parole violation, or a finding by a federal or state court that there is probable cause to believe that an offender has committed a crime based on the same charges as the probation or parole violation, the department need not hold an administrative hearing.

(2) The appropriate officer or officers of the department shall, as soon as practical following the department's administrative hearing, report to the court or the Board of Pardons and Parole, furnishing a summary of the hearing, and may make recommendations regarding the disposition to be made of the parolee or probationer. Pending any proceeding under this section, the department may take custody of and detain the parolee or probationer involved for a period not to exceed 72 hours excluding weekends and holidays.

(3) If the hearing officer determines that there is probable cause to believe that the offender has violated the conditions of his parole or probation, the department may detain the offender for a reasonable period of time after the hearing or waiver, as necessary to arrange for the incarceration of the offender. Written order of the department is sufficient authorization for any peace officer to incarcerate the offender. The department may promulgate rules for the implementation of this section.
