Adding Offender Information to Incidents

Perform the following procedure to add offender information to incidents. Offender records that you add to an incident also appear in the Contacts view for the incident.

To add offender information to an incident

1. Navigate to the Incidents screen, then the Incident List view.

2. Drill down on the Incident Summary field of the incident record.

3. Navigate to the Offenders view.

4. Create a new record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

   Note: Alternatively, add a record, and select an offender from a list of both contacts and group suspects. If you select a record for a person who is also an employee (a user created the record in the Employees view of the Administration - User screen), then you cannot change the record from this view. If you select any other record (a user created the record in the Contacts or Group Suspects screen), then you can change the record.

5. (Optional) If you want to associate additional records with the offender record, then complete the following steps:

   1. If you want to add offenses to the offender record, then navigate to the Offenses view, and create new records in the Offenses list.

      Before you can select an offense in the Offense Name field, you must create the offense records in the Offenses view in the Incident List view of the Incidents screen. For more information, see Adding Offense Information to Incidents.

   2. If you want to add notes to the offender record, then navigate to the Notes view, and create new records in the notes list.

      For more information, see Adding Notes to Cases.

   3. If you want to add victims to the offender record, then navigate to the Victims view, and complete the following steps:

      • In the Victims list, add a record, select the victims, and click OK.

        Before you can add victims in this view, you must add or create the victim records in the Victims view in the Incident List view of the Incidents screen. For more information, see Adding Victim Information to Incidents.

      • In the Relationship to Victim list, select the type of relationship that the offender has with the victim.

   4. If you want to add allegations to the offender record, then navigate to the Allegations view, and create new records in the Allegations list.

      Before you can select an allegation in the Allegation Name field, you must create the allegation records in the Allegations view in the Incident List view of the Incidents screen. For more information, see Adding Allegation Information to Incidents.
