A court may transfer a person on probation under its jurisdiction from the supervision of one probation agency to that of another probation agency. Whenever a person sentenced to probation resides in or is to remove to a locality outside the jurisdiction of the court that sentenced the person to probation, the court may transfer the person to a parole and probation officer appointed to serve for the locality in which the person resides or to which the person is to remove:

1. (1) If the parole and probation officer sends to the court desiring to make such transfer a written statement that the parole and probation officer will exercise supervision over the person.
2. (2) If the statement is approved in writing by the judge of the court to which the parole and probation officer is attached.
