If paperwork says someone must report to probation, treat it as time-sensitive. Santa Barbara County probation orders can require a person to report within 72 hours of release from custody (or within 72 hours from the date of the order). Call the probation office listed on the order as soon as possible - don't wait until the deadline is breathing down your neck.

Some probation terms require quick enrollment in a specific program. For example, a Santa Barbara County probation order might require someone to report to the Central Coast Headway Alcohol Program within 72 hours - and enrollment and completion are at the defendant's expense. Not sure where to start? Probation can explain what the court ordered and what "report" or "enroll" means in your situation. The program named on the order can answer enrollment and payment questions.

Need to confirm which courthouse is handling a case or get pointed to the right clerk? Start with the division tied to the matter.
