What Happens If I Violate My Probation in Missouri?

If you violate probation, your parole officer may file a Probation Violation Report. This typically leads to:

• A warrant for your arrest or notice of a court hearing
• A preliminary hearing to determine probable cause
• A formal revocation hearing to assess penalties

Understanding Probation Hearings

• Preliminary Hearing: Informal. You may request or waive it. You can present witnesses and cross-examine the state’s evidence.
• Revocation Hearing: Formal. You should have legal representation. The judge decides whether a violation occurred—based on a “reasonable satisfaction” standard, not beyond a reasonable doubt.
