Persons under supervision are sometimes required to submit a monthly report by the 5th day of the month or as instructed by the officer. This process involves the reporting of standard information such as address, phone number, employment, etc. It also asks questions about contact with law enforcement and other felons. It is crucial that each question is answered truthfully and completely each month. One common mistake is assuming that the officer has the information on file and, thus, not completely filling out each line, such as a vehicle identification number or an apartment number. The monthly report process creates a legal document, and there are penalties for providing false information under 18 USC § 1001. The reporting form can be accessed at our e-reporting website, or you can type or paste the URL https://supervision.uscourts.gov/websr/logon.aspx in your browser address bar.
