Adding Offense, Allegation, and Arrest Information to Incidents

In the Offenses, Allegations, Offenders, Victims, and Arrests views on the Incidents screen, users can list the offenses committed, designate the appropriate allegations, record information about individuals involved in an incident, and record any completed or attempted arrests. Agents can track individuals in multiple incidents, even when an individual has a different role in each incident.

The offenses, allegations, offenders, and victims and that you can associate with a record depends on the records that users create in the other views. For example, the victims who you can associate with an offender using the Victims view in the Offenders view of the Incidents screen depends on the victim records that users create in the Victims view of the Incidents screen. Therefore, it is recommended that you create information in the following order:

  1. Create all offense, allegation, offender, victim, and arrest records in the Offenses, Allegations, Offenders, Victims, and Arrests views of the Incidents screen.

    Create records in the Arrests view last because this view depends on the other views for information.

  2. Go back to each of these views and use the subviews to associate the appropriate information with the related record. For example, associate victims and offenses with offenders.

To add offense, allegation, and arrest information to incidents, perform the following tasks:
