What do I do if I feel my rights have been violated?
• First, talk to your Probation Officer and try to resolve your concerns.
• If you feel that you can’t resolve your concerns with your Probation Officer, ask to speak to their supervisor.
• If you still cannot resolve the problem you can call the Probation Director or Deputy Director
• Failing that, you may contact the NYS OPCA at 80 S. Swan Street, Albany, NY or call 518-485-7692
• Your probation will not be negatively affected just because you filed a complaint.
• Filing a complaint does not relieve you from your responsibilities to the court.
