The Probation Service is the key part of criminal justice. The Probation Service came about when the court began releasing offenders into the population again.The Probation Service is to help offenders serve a community order.
If you have been ordered by a judge to community service as a condition of probation or a suspended sentence your probation can be violated by your probation officer. In turn if you do not do your community service you are looking at jail time.In most cases you can do 30 days in your county jail but can get as little as 10 days or more time to do community service/pay fines depends on your record and if they hade to bring you to court by local p.d.
Something is missing from the question. If you successfully completed your community service AND you successfully completed your probation period - then - when and what was the warrant issued for?
probation or community service or 6 months in jail

Probation and parole officers in Australia serve an active role in recommending community based supervision to Magistrates/Judges. They also make recommendations to parole boards to determine whether a prisoner should be granted parole. Probation officers are expected to not only supervise an offender while he/she performs community service, but to also develop the community service plans themselves.
