Bail conditions - check in with a probation officer?
<p>If a person is out on bail, is a possible bail condition for them to check in with a probation officer? Or what is the title of the official individual who makes sure bail conditions are continuing to be met?</p>

<p><strong>What is the title of the official individual who makes sure bail conditions are continuing to be met?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pretrial Services Officer</strong> Either at <a href="https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/probation-and-pretrial-services/probation-and-pretrial-officers-and-officer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Federal</a> or  State/<a href="https://pretrial.harriscountytx.gov/Pages/default.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">County</a> level.</p>
<p>In the United States there are several <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bail_in_the_United_States" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Types of Bail</a>, which vary from jurisdiction, and this one seems relevant to the OP:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Pretrial Services</strong> – a defendant is released to the supervision of a pretrial services officer, similar to a probation officer. In most cases defendants have no financial obligation to be supervised. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretrial_services_programs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pretrial Services Programs</a> can include phone or <strong>in-person check-ins</strong>, drug testing, court date reminders, and any other condition the judges deems necessary.</p>

<p><em>FYI a Probation Officer manages offenders post-conviction who have been sentenced to probation, whereas bail relates to suspects who have not been convicted (or offenders who have been but are awaiting sentencing)</em>.</p>
