Warren-Forest Court of Common Pleas Thirty Seventh Judicial District
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

When a duly appointed adult probation officer has conducted an investigation which reveals that a violation of supervision has been committed by the defendant, the officer shall request a supervisor to issue a "Supervisor's Warrant" for the arrest and detention of the defendant. The defendant shall be arrested upon issuance of the warrant, by any peace officer in the Commonwealth authorized to make arrests, or in the case of a defendant who has absconded the Commonwealth, the warrant shall be submitted to the proper police agency for processing as per normal procedure. Following arrest, the filing officer shall request a Gagnon I hearing before the Court designated hearing officer, which will be held within ten (10) Court business days. The above procedure relating to Rule 1409 shall then be followed.

Should the filing officer determine that a supervisor's warrant is not needed, a Gagnon I hearing will be scheduled as soon as possible following discovery of the violation(s), and the 1409 procedure will continue as stated. Notice of the Gagnon I hearing, in this instance, shall be served upon the defendant by the filing officer and a Gagnon I hearing would then be scheduled at the convenience of the hearing officer.
