The probation service plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system by supervising offenders placed on probation instead of serving time in prison. Its primary responsibilities include monitoring compliance with court-ordered conditions, providing support and rehabilitation services to help offenders reintegrate into society, and ensuring public safety. Additionally, probation officers often assess the risks and needs of offenders, facilitating access to resources like counseling and job training to reduce recidivism. Overall, the probation service aims to balance accountability with rehabilitation.
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.
You WERE placed on probation alright! The terms of your probation was to satisfactorily perform "community service." If you failed to fulfill the terms, then you have not served your sentence.

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.

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?
While on probation (or parole) you are NOT allowed to move without the authorization of the court.
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.
probation or community service or 6 months in jail
