How long is the probation period? Can the probation period be shortened or extended?

The probation period could be between 6 months and 3 years. It may be adjusted depending on the progress of the probationer.

It can be extended by the Court if the probationer showed unsatisfactory progress on probation, and a longer period of supervision is required to address the probationer’s risks and needs. The probation period can also be shortened if the probationer is granted an early discharge by the Court for showing outstanding progress while on probation.
