Entering an Appearance/Detainer Order

Remand orders and detainer orders are recorded on the Appearance/Detainer Orders screen. This screen also schedules movement or appearance orders authorizing the movement of the offender to court on a specified date.

  1. To access this screen from the Main Menu, select Institutions Legal Orders Appearance Orders.

  2. Click Query to locate the offender record.

  3. Click Next Block to access the Orders block, then click a blank record.

  4. Complete the following fields in the Orders block:

  1. Click Save. The Status field now reads Active until the court date/time is reached, then it changes to Expired. If an order is terminated, the status field reads Term (terminated).

  2. If the order is a remand specifying a court date, click Next Block to access the Court Appearance Schedule block. Fill in the court dates and locations associated with the order. The check boxes available at your site may be different from those in this example — they can be customized by your TAG application administrator. Note: The Court Appearance Schedule block can be left blank if the information is unknown, and typed in at a later date.

  1. Click Save.

  2. Click Next Block to access the Charges block, and list each charge associated with the order. Scroll to a blank line with the down arrow key to record each charge.

  1. Click Save.

Scheduled court dates will now appear on the Scheduled Movements Inquiry screen and on the Court Movement Inquiry screen.

You may still have to verify the order. The verification process does not lock any information (locking is achieved through changes in status).
