What do I do if my probation officer dropped my case she no longer works probation without informing me?
Recently I was trying to get a hold of my probation officer to ask questions regarding my license and community service. After weeks of trying to reach her i received news that she no longer works as a probation officer. I was not informed by my officer that I was dropped. I’m not sure what to do from here.

In Michigan, typically when a probation officer leaves the court or their position, their entire case file and probationers are transferred to another probation officer within the department. Do not make the mistake in believing that because your probation officer has left that you are no longer on probation. My advice is to go down to the probation office where your former officer worked and ask them who is currently in charge of your probation case from here on out. They should provide you with the information you need to successfully continue with your probation.
