The Chief Probation Officer shall be responsible for the\nadministration of the Offenders Probation Act and for the\nsupervision of all Probation Officers in the performance of\ntheir duties under the Act.

Probation Officers shall attend all Courts held within\ntheir respective districts for criminal business where persons\nare to be charged with offences within the meaning of section\n2 of the Offenders Probation Act, 1920. When the investiga-\ntions they are required to make in terms of the Act clearly\nindicate that the best interests of the public and of the\noffender will be served by releasing him on probation, it shall\nbe the duty of every Probation Officer reporting upon a case\nto recommend to the Court that the offender be so released.\nHe shall state in his report whether, in his opinion, the person\ncharged is able to pay the cost of his prosecution as provided\nby subsection (2) of section 10 of the Act.\n3. The Probation Officer shall issue to every person re-\nleased upon probation a form of probationary license upon\nwhich shall be printed or written the general and special con-\nditions of probation, and a precis of any section or sections\nof the Act imposing penalties for the breach of such conditions.\nBefore handing his license to a probationer, and obtaining his\nreceipt therefor, the Probation Officer shall see that the pro-\nbationer is fully conversant with its terms and the penalties\nto which he is liable for failure to comply with them.\n4. Registers, specially printed and bound for the purpose,\nshall be supplied to all Probation Officers. The names, de-\nscriptions, special conditions of release, and other requisite\nparticulars regarding each probationer shall be entered in such\nregisters immediately upon the issue of every probationary\nlicense.\n5. Probation Officers shall forward all reports regarding\nprobationers in their respective districts, and all correspond-\nence relative to such probationers or matters arising out of\ntheir duties under the Act, to the Chief Probation Officer at\nWellington. Immediately a person is placed on probation a\nreturn, on the prescribed form, shall be made to that officer,\nand on the first of every month a report shall be forwarded\nas to the progress and conduct of the probationer. A separate\nreport, on the prescribed form, must be made in respect of\neach probationer, and the name of the offender as well as the\nregister number of license must be written on each such report.\nWhenever possible a newspaper report of the case must be\nattached to the first return.\n6.
