Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1) A
juvenile parole officer:
(a) Must issue a
parole arrest warrant when the juvenile parole officer has reason to believe a
juvenile parolee possessed a firearm or used a deadly weapon during the parole
period; or
(b) May issue a parole
arrest warrant when the juvenile parole officer has reason to believe a
juvenile parolee has violated a condition of parole, other than possession of a
firearm or use of a deadly weapon.
(2) The parole arrest warrant, on department
forms, must include a statement of the nature of the violation(s) and the date
it occurred.
(3) A juvenile parolee
held in detention for an alleged violation of parole conditions is entitled to
an informal hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to believe a
parole violation occurred and whether continued detention pending a parole
revocation hearing is necessary. The hearing must be:
(a) Held within twenty-four hours (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) of being placed in detention for an alleged
violation of parole conditions; and
(b) Conducted by a parole supervisor or
designee not directly involved in the case. The parole supervisor or designee
must:
(i) Interview both the juvenile parolee
and a juvenile parole staff with knowledge of the alleged violation(s). If such
a parole staff is unavailable, documentation of the allegation(s) may be
reviewed in place of the staff interview; and
(ii) Issue a decision, immediately following
the hearing, with reasons for either releasing the juvenile parolee or
authorizing continued detention. The decision must be documented on department
forms. In no event shall a juvenile parolee be held in detention for an alleged
violation of parole conditions longer than seventy-two hours (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) without a parole revocation petition being
filed pursuant to WAC 275-30-040.
