Require a peace officer to assume custody of a probationer or temporary custody of a juvenile upon request by a probation officer
LB 488 requires peace officers to take custody of probationers (for misdemeanor or felony offenses) or juveniles when a probation officer requests it due to a violation of probation conditions that poses a danger to people or property or involves an attempt to flee the jurisdiction. The bill mandates that probation officers must document violations and request custody through written reports to county attorneys, who then decide whether to pursue probation revocation. It applies specifically to cases where probation officers have reasonable cause to believe a violation creates immediate risk, not routine probation breaches. This change standardizes procedures for both misdemeanor and felony probation cases across Nebraska statutes.
