WAC 110-740-0030. Parole arrest warrant

(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 .
