My question is about the conditions of my unsupervised probation.
I am currently about 1 year through my 2 year unsupervised probation sentence. I was required to complete community service and anger management. I have completed both. However, my court papers just said I had to do them, and said nothing about calling in and giving them the information by a certain date. If for some reason they decide that I’ve violated my probation will they call me (In which case I could clarify things) or will a cop just show up at my house to arrest me?

I think there is zero chance the police will show up at your door. If the probation department wants confirmation of completion of ypur probation requirements they'll more than likely contact you be somewhat by less dramatic means that officers at your doorstep. But why not do the easy thing - contact the probation office yourself, tell them that you have evidence of completion and where should you send it. Possibly there is more to this story??
