In an emergency

Life or death? Call 911 first.

Then contact your officer as soon as you can. Keep papers that show what happened. Your officer will ask for them.

Call 911

Who to call, in this order

  1. Your officerAs soon as you can, and no later than the next day.
  2. The office duty officerIf your officer isn't available.
  3. The 24-hour numberAfter office hours, and only for emergencies. Your officer gives it to you, and it's posted in the office lobby.

Your saved numbers are under Call in Dayproof. You can add them in Dayproof's Settings.

What FDC counts as an emergency

  • A new arrest
  • A medical emergency that makes you leave home
  • A family medical emergency that makes you leave home
  • A death in the family, if you need to travel out of the county or state for the funeral
  • Having to leave the county or state for work
  • A work situation that forces a change from your approved schedule
  • Having to move out of your approved home, for example after an eviction or a domestic problem

Other questions and schedule changes aren't emergencies. Save them for when your officer is in, and plan ahead: last-minute requests that aren't emergencies will be denied.

What Community Control means House arrest, and what it allows

Community Control, often called house arrest, is strict supervision that keeps you at your approved home. You can leave only for things your officer approved ahead of time, like work, school, treatment or public service hours.

Source: FDC, Succeeding on Community Control (undated; FDC's February 2026 copy), page 1

It doesn't allow visits to family or friends, eating out, movies or vacations. It does let you keep working and supporting your family instead of being locked up.

FDC suggests giving your family a copy of its guide, so they understand the limits you're under.

Your weekly schedule and daily log Form DC3-207: plan the week, then account for every hour

You report to your officer every week. Each time, you turn in form DC3-207 with the schedule you're asking for, and your officer reviews and approves it.

Source: FDC, Succeeding on Community Control (undated; FDC's February 2026 copy), page 1

You also account, hour by hour, for where you were the week before, so your officer can check you kept to the approved schedule. You sign the form to say that account is true.

Get the schedule approved before the week starts. When you fill in the daily log:

  • Account for every hour, in blue ink.
  • Write each place's name and address, and your travel time.
  • Each time you leave home, write the exact times you got to each place and left it.

From FDC's older slide guide Source: FDC, Succeeding on Community Control, slide guide (2010, updated 2018), slides 13 and 14

Any change from the approved schedule, or a missing or false entry in the log, is a violation that gets reported to the court or releasing authority.

  • Grocery, clothing, hardware or drug stores
  • Laundry or dry cleaning
  • The bank
  • Medical or veterinary care
  • Paying bills
  • A barber or salon
  • Driving a spouse or dependent, only if no one else can

  • How you'll travel
  • A phone number and a contact person there
  • How long you'll stay
  • Who's going with you

Moving to another state Transferring your supervision through the Interstate Compact

To live in another state while you're on supervision, your supervision has to be transferred there under the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. Every state is a member. Don't move until the transfer is settled.

Sources: section 949.071, Florida Statutes; ICAOS Rule 3.102

How it starts

  • Talk with your officer first. They check that your plan meets the rules and that you're following your conditions.
  • If it qualifies, you sign the forms and your officer sends the request. It goes to Florida's Interstate Compact Office, then to the other state.

Source: FDC, Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision page

There's a fee to apply. It was $125 in October 2026. Ask your officer for the current amount and how to pay it.

Source: What an FDC probation officer told a Dayproof user, October 2026

Who the other state must accept

The other state has to accept the transfer if all of these are true:

  • You have more than 90 days of supervision left, or an open-ended term.
  • You have a valid plan for where you'll live and how you'll be supervised.
  • You're in substantial compliance with your conditions.
  • You live in that state, or you have family there who can help and a job or other means of support.

"Family" means a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, adult child, adult sibling, spouse, legal guardian or step-parent who has lived there at least 180 days. If you don't meet these, the other state can still agree, but it doesn't have to. Separate rules cover moves for a job, military service, or veterans' care.

Sources: ICAOS Rules 3.101 and 3.101-1; ICAOS Rule 1.101 (definitions)

While you wait

  • Stay in Florida. You can't travel to the other state until it has answered the request.
  • The other state has up to 45 days to look into your plan and answer. The clock starts once the request is complete.
  • An answer of yes isn't guaranteed. Keep following every condition while you wait.

Sources: ICAOS Rules 3.102 and 3.104

If you already live in the other state

If you lived there when you were sentenced, Florida can ask the other state for reporting instructions so you can go home sooner. The other state answers within 2 business days. This doesn't guarantee the transfer will be accepted.

Source: ICAOS Rule 3.103

Once you're accepted

  • You'll get reporting instructions that say where to go and by when, and a travel permit from Florida.
  • Leave when your officer says, and report as your instructions say. People are generally expected to arrive and report within 5 business days of leaving.
  • Keep your travel permit and reporting instructions with you, and keep a copy.
  • The other state's officer supervises you once you arrive. Its rules may differ from Florida's, so ask your new officer what they expect.

Making a complaint

FDC has a written process for complaints about your supervision. File within 10 days of what happened. The steps, in order:

  1. Try to solve it with your officer.
  2. Talk with your officer's supervisor. If that doesn't settle it, write to the supervisor, who answers in writing within 20 days.
  3. Write to the Circuit Administrator, who answers within 20 days.
  4. Write to the Regional Director, who answers within 20 days.
  5. Write to the Assistant Secretary of Community Corrections, who answers within 30 days.

Violation matters can't be grieved; they're heard in the violation process. A complaint about health privacy (HIPAA) or disability access (ADA) must say so and goes straight to the Assistant Secretary.

FDC prohibits harassment and discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability or political views.
