Service to Northern B.C. and Isolated Communities

Parole and probation officers travel from place to place throughout northern B.C. and other remote communities. They supervise offenders in isolated communities who have limited access to justice and correctional services. Parole and probation officers manage and support offenders through in-person visits and other forms of communication with clients, local agencies and other community contacts.

No-Contact Conditions of an Order

While you are serving all or part of your sentence in the community, you may be under a no contact order. For more information, visit No Contact.
