Home Detention Order Supervision

On receiving an Order, the offender leaves court and attends Community Corrections for an electronic monitoring device to be fitted to their ankle.

The offender will need to report to a Probation Officer during their order. This supervision helps Community Corrections to assist the individual in addressing the factors that led to their offending behaviour. They will need to talk about any problems and issues they are having. They may also need to complete courses and programs or attend counselling.

When and How Can a Person Leave Their House?

Probation Officers approve offenders to leave their address by completing an ‘activity planner’. Each activity planner approves activities that are planned for the following week.

To change an activity planner, the person on the Home Detention Order must contact their Probation Officer. Activity planners will only change in emergencies.

A person in Home Detention can leave the approved residence to attend pre-approved locations such as:

  • employment
  • education or training, programs or services
  • medical appointments, or
  • grocery stores and places to pay bills (if the person lives alone)
