Re: probation discharge

Not exactly. If one wants to be a police officer, and is approved for the job pending an early probation discharge, the probationer can petition the Probation officer for a early discharge. If however they say no, he can go back to the court and ask for the same relief.

Merely stating you wish to join the force, or even applying should not result in an early discharge even from the most liberal Probation officer.

Good luck.
