If the court is satisfied that the best interests of the public, justice, and child will be served, the court may, without entering an adjudication of delinquency, with consent of the child, suspend imposition of adjudication of delinquency and place the child on probation under the terms, conditions, and duration required by the court. A court may revoke the suspension at any time during the probationary period and impose an adjudication of delinquency without diminishment or credit for any of the probationary period.
