Modoc Probation Release Role
Modoc County Probation is the local supervision agency named in the research. The Chief Probation Officers of California listing gives the department address as 326 South Main Street, Alturas, CA 96101, phone 530-233-6324, and fax 530-233-6363. Use that office for local probation or court-ordered supervision questions after a court case shows a probation term, mandatory supervision, modification, revocation, or related release condition.
A jail release does not automatically mean probation. A person can be released on bail, on signed promise to appear, after time served, after dismissal, on a court order, or by transfer. Probation becomes relevant when the Modoc Superior Court creates or modifies a local supervision term. The court record should be checked first because it is the source that orders probation and can show later compliance events, violation hearings, and termination or discharge entries.

Local probation and court-ordered supervision
Confirm Modoc Probation Status
The research did not find a public Modoc probation roster or public supervision-status database. That means a release check should not start by searching for a list of probationers. Start with the court case, then use the probation contact when the court record shows a local supervision order. If the person was sentenced to state prison, use CDCR and DAPO instead of the county probation office.
- Search the Modoc Superior Court public case portal by name or case number.
- Look for sentencing minutes, probation orders, violation hearings, revocation entries, modification orders, and future court dates.
- Call 530-233-6516 for court document access if the portal identifies a case but does not show the needed order.
- Contact Modoc County Probation at 530-233-6324 if the court order points to local probation or mandatory supervision.
- Use CDCR, BPH, and DAPO if the sentence was state prison or the release path is parole.
A narrow, purpose-neutral question is easier to route. Ask whether the correct public source is the court, probation, the jail, or CDCR. Probation offices may not disclose all supervision details to the public, but they can point to the proper channel when the case is local and supervision-related.
Court First, Probation Second
Probation is usually created by the court. The Modoc Superior Court public portal provides basic case information, recent filings, hearing schedules, and parties. That makes it the first source for a local supervision question. A court minute order may show the sentence, probation term, conditions, reporting requirement, violation hearing, warrant recall, or discharge from probation. If the portal does not show the document, the court document-access phone is 530-233-6516.
| Record | Why it matters after release |
|---|---|
| Sentencing minute | Shows whether jail, probation, state prison, or another sentence was ordered. |
| Probation order | Creates or describes the local supervision term. |
| Violation hearing | May show an alleged breach, modification, remand, or release condition. |
| Modification order | Can change conditions, reporting terms, or supervision status. |
| Termination entry | May show that probation ended or was discharged. |
For the jail side of the same event, the Sheriff's Office release record may show when the person left custody and why. That record does not replace the probation order. Use both when the question involves release date and supervision status.
Probation vs CDCR Parole
Modoc County Probation and CDCR parole are separate systems. County probation is local supervision tied to a Modoc court order. CDCR parole is state post-prison supervision handled through the Division of Adult Parole Operations after CDCR release or BPH action. A person can be released from Modoc County Jail and have no CDCR connection. Another person can leave the local jail as a transfer to state prison and later return to Modoc County on parole.
| Question | Modoc Probation | CDCR Parole |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Modoc Superior Court order | CDCR sentence, release, or BPH decision |
| Agency | Modoc County Probation Department | CDCR Division of Adult Parole Operations |
| Local detail | 326 South Main Street in Alturas | Rural Northern Region / Redding context for Alturas |
| First lookup | Court portal and document access | CIRIS, CDCR Identification Unit, BPH, then DAPO |
Use California DAPO Northern Region for state parole. Use Modoc County Probation only for local supervision that the court case supports.
Modoc Supervision Systems
The Modoc County SB 272 enterprise systems catalog is useful because it shows that probation information is administered locally. The research notes Community Supervision / Probation by Corrections Software Solutions, client-management records for Probation, CSS client case-management records, and JustWare client records in an archive or update context. These entries do not create public access to supervision files, but they support the local routing point.
When a public record is needed, ask for the court order or the releasable jail release record rather than a probation case file. Supervision files can include sensitive or restricted material. The court record is usually the public path for the order, while the probation office is the agency contact when the court has placed someone under local supervision.
- Probation
- Local court supervision that may follow release, sentence, or a suspended sentence.
- Mandatory supervision
- A local supervision status that may follow certain county-level sentences.
- Revocation
- A court action that can change or end probation after an alleged violation.
- Discharge
- The end of a supervision term by completion, court order, or other lawful event.
Probation Release Route
A released person with a Modoc probation issue may move through several offices. The jail can confirm local custody and release timing. The court can show the order that created probation. Probation can address local supervision routing when disclosure is allowed. California VINE can help with custody change notices if the custody feed is available, but it is not the probation case file. CDCR and DAPO apply only to state-prison parole.
For one named person, start with the Modoc County released inmates search path if the custody type is uncertain. Then branch to court, jail, probation, CDCR, or another system as the documents indicate. Do not infer probation from release alone. Confirm it through the court order or the agency that supervises the local term.
