Can anyone tell me if Greg cowles still a PO since this change? His tyranny is what caused me to abscond from probation and I want nothing more than to make this right and continue with my life but I will not come back to be stuck with such a heartless vengeful person again. I am a law abiding man whom admittedly made a mistake I was eager to overcome and move on and was happy with the terms I agreed to in terms of plea unfortunately the terms were thrown out day one and replaced with a color group and weekly drug classes (I had never failed a us nor was my original crime drug related) between the verbal threats the constant screaming and piling classes after classes til I was broke. He said be in my office Monday two days after our last meet and I knew he was gonna throw me in why I couldn’t say but I knew.. I freaked out and didn’t go. Been looking back ever since and I’m sick of it. I just want to be back on te right track.

Kazbaa…can you tell me how the new office compares to the old ACMPS? Is there any more security? Do the PO’s all have their own offices still? I heard all the new PO’s are fairly young. I had Ms. Thompson before and really liked her. I am not sure who my PO will be now but I will find out soon. Thanks.

I went in today…nothing has really changed except we can pay probation fees online now. Continue testing if you’re on color code. Orientation was filling out new probation forms similar to what we filled out when we first got on probation. We sat in the waiting room for a couple hours before a group of us went to a backroom for 5 minutes to sign compliance forms and then left. We have to call at month’s end to schedule our next PO meeting.

I was originally told to keep testing during my appointment last month, and my color is rarely called, however, this was relayed to me from an intern taking the place of my PO. I’m attending “orientation” tomorrow and will post what I find out.

Please post any information about the new probation program. I had a similar experience to “meeting”.

My last meeting was about the money, my PO also didn’t work there anymore, the stressed out lady who claimed to have 720 cases, told me not to worry about testing, and here is a number for ADA Sheriff Misdemeanor to call after 10/1.

I did call the # today, and the fees will be the same, received the name of a new PO, but no information about testing or changes.

So I guess the reason I am writing is to find out:

1. Are we supposed to continue the Global testing call in colors thing?

2. And really just do nothing until our “orientation time?”

Nancy sent an email to all her employees when Sharon Ullman lost the election that merely said “victory”. Well today my friend I repeat that same word back to you “VICTORY”

So, does anyone send a second sample to an independent lab? Yes cost money, but I wonder what you’d find. Labs behaving badly seems to be very common these days. Many have a very credible sign post out front, but cut corners to save time and money/profit.
