In order to consider early termination, how much of the supervision process must be completed?

To consider early termination of a probation or parole supervision process, the individual must typically have completed at least one-half of the supervision period. This requirement is grounded in the principle that sufficient time must have elapsed for both the assessment of the offender's behavior and their compliance with the conditions set forth in their probation.

By reaching the halfway mark, both the supervising officer and the court can evaluate whether the individual has shown a commitment to rehabilitation, compliance with legal stipulations, and whether they pose a reduced risk of re-offending. This midpoint also acts as a critical juncture, at which intervention can be decided upon based on the offender’s progress, compliance, and overall case history.

The other options reflect lesser completion percentages, which do not provide enough time for a thorough assessment of the offender's behavior or the impact of probation conditions. Early termination processes necessitate a more comprehensive evaluation than is available at these earlier stages.
