I don't know if there is a legal definition of "police contact" so you might want to report it to be safe.

The words "police contact" seem simple enough. Yes, report it to your PO.

The best thing to do is report it to your probation officer.

Yes. Most probation violations result from non-compliance with conditions of probation. Your PO would expect you to notify him/her.

That is police contact and the probation officer should be notified. Unless you did something wrong he should not violate you. Keep all medications locked up so that your children do not take them accidentally or to get high.
