The offender’s legal documents may specify that certain persons or agencies must be notified of the offender’s release. Notification instructions are recorded on the Release Notification screen in the Legal Orders menu. If you then try to release the offender without first confirming the notification, TAG warns you that release notifications have not yet been completed. This is an alert message only, and TAG will still let you release the offender without recording that the notification has occurred.
