An incident involves only a violation of probation, breach of bail conditions, or court orders. Which protocol applies?

• A. Protocol 112
• B. Protocol 129
• C. Protocol 106
• D. Protocol 108

Answer: (B)

When an incident centers on a breach of supervision conditions, such as probation, bail conditions, or court orders, the response is guided by a protocol that handles violations of court-imposed requirements. This approach focuses on how to manage and enforce compliance, rather than addressing a new crime. This protocol provides a clear path for verifying the breach, assessing risk, and deciding on the appropriate action—such as coordinating with probation services, updating the offender’s status, and informing the court or relevant authorities. It aims to balance public safety with proper procedures, ensuring timely and consistent handling of supervision violations. Other protocols are designed for different kinds of incidents, like new criminal offences or violent acts, and would not fit the specific objectives of supervising and enforcing probation or bail conditions.
