    20-220.  INVESTIGATION AND EXAMINATION TO PRECEDE PROBATION OR SUSPENSION
OF SENTENCE. When a probation and parole officer is available to the court, no
defendant shall be placed on probation until a written report of investigation
by a parole and probation officer shall have been presented to and considered
by the court, and no defendant charged with a felony or indictable offense
shall be released under suspension of sentence without such investigation. The
parole and probation officer shall inquire into the circumstances of the
offense, criminal record, social history and present condition of the
defendant. Whenever practicable, such investigation shall include a physical
and mental examination of the defendant. If a defendant is committed to any
institution, the probation officer shall send a report of such investigation
to the institution at the time of commitment.
