Why do I have to sign a release?

Releases of information are required so that the probation officer can verify your attendance and completion of any court ordered treatment program(s).  It also allows your treatment providers to speak with your PO so they can assist each other in your treatment, recovery or physical ailments. Additional releases (DCS, CASA) may be required depending on your individual circumstance.
