(1) Before a correctional probation officer considers recommending an offender for early termination of supervision, the following criteria shall be met:

(a) Completion of one-half of the supervision period or at least eighteen months, whichever is greater;

(b) through (d) No change.

(e) A Florida Crime Information Center/National Crime Information Center (FCIC/NCIC) records check reveals no new arrest during the course of supervision of which the sentencing or releasing authority has not been previously notified; and

(f) No violations of supervision are pending.; and

(g) The offender has made satisfactory adjustment under supervision and is no longer in need of supervision.

(2) In order for an officer to request an early termination of supervision from the sentencing or releasing authority, approval must be obtained from the officer’s supervisor, the circuit administrator, the State Attorney’s Office, and the victim, if the offense involved a victim. If the State Attorney’s office denies the request, or the victim opposes the early termination, the department will not proceed with the early termination recommendation. The officer shall not disclose a victim’s objection to the offender.

(3) No change.
