Can warrant officers become commissioned?

Technically since 2007 all Warrant Officer's are commissioned. Before that, only CW2's and above were. If you are asking if they can become regular officers, the answer is yes. They just have to meet the same requirements any other person would need to meet. I have known a few Aviation branched Warrant Officers who have gone that route, but I know even more regular Officers who have become Warrant Officers. I am not 100% sure this is true for non-aviation branched Officers, but I would assume it would be.


If a person has an outstanding warrant for probation violation in Florida can law enforcement in other states know it?

A VOP warrant is a strong one. Once it's entered into the NCIC, all police jurisdictions will know about it.


Can you pay a warrant off?

No, but you can turn yourself in and pay the bail. Exception: if the warrant is for failure to appear on a traffic offense, you can generally pay off the fines and the warrant will be recalled.


If you broke probation then you fail to appear and was picked up on a warrant what will you get?

Impossible to know the answer to this. You will more than likely have your probation revoked and be remanded to serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars PLUS you may alos be charged with a separate VOP charge, an FTA charge, plus they issued a warrant for you so you were also a Fugitive. You do the math.


If some one you know who is staying with you is on probation can the police force there way in with out warrant?

yes the police can force their way into your home without a warrant They will justify that they think that are right and try to scare you but as long as you know you rights you can fight it THE AMENDMENTS PROTECT YOU AGAINST THIS BUT TODAY LAW ENFORCEMENTS ARE ONLY FOCUSED ON THAT Dollar.


Can your home be searched if the police are looking for a person with a warrant for probation violation?

If they have 'reasonable cause to believe' that the person named in the warrant is in the residence, they may enter and look JUST FOR HIM. They may not conduct a search for anything else BUT, if during the search they see/observe any conduct, or any items, of an unlawful nature IN PLAIN SIGHT they may take proper enforcement actions arising from those 'plain sight' observations. In your probation contract it says that they can search you or your residence at any time, they don't even need a warrent.


Do you know who i can talk to about probation?

Your probation officer.


If I am on probation and got arrested in a different state will my probation officer find out about it?

In all probability, YES. A violation of probation, regardless of the nature of the offense itself, often results in an interstate warrant being issued, and you will be extradited to the state that wants you. Can the probation officer do this himself? Not likely: a warrant has to be issued by the court that sentenced you for the VOP. Then the cops in the area to which you fled will pick you up and extradite you to the wanting state.


Do probation officers have right ask about your personal life when on probation?

Depends on what you mean by your "personal life." They have the right to know who you're hanging with - whether, or how much, you're drinking - whether you're employed - etc - etc. If you consider those "personal" questions - yes, they do.


Who were John Augustus and Matthew Davenport Hill and how did they assist in creating support for probation as you know it today?

cofounders of probation and through their works they influenced how much crime would be punished in regards to dealing with nonviolent offenders and offedners with particular backgrounds that dont warrant the use of prison as rehabilitation.


Is a warrant issued to an inmate currently in prison the same as a detainer?

A detainer is a request from another jurisdiction asking that they notify that jurisdiction that the person is about to be released. Detainer's are often the result of a warrant that has been issued for that inmate. If the warrant is relatively minor, then the detainer may not actually be issued. And not all detainers are the result of warrants: there could be immigration detainers or detainers from probation and parole, asking the prison to let them know when the person will be released because that inmate is supposed to report to probation once he has been released.


You were on probation for 18 months after a misdemeanor How do you know if your record is clean?

What is meant by "clean?" Probation(in lieu of jail) IS the sentence for whatever offense you committed. Your criminal record will always show it as a conviction. Simply by completing a term of probation your record is not "cleared" or made "clean."
