Quick Tip

Compact Workload Search

Searching for an offender using the Compact Workload limits results to offenders associated to you and your state.

Merge & Delete

• Be sure to perform the “print all” prior to submitting or consenting to any merge or delete request in ICOTS. ICOTS and the National Office only preserve the audit trail of who performed the action, not the data altered.
• Merging two offender records does not merge the ICOTS cases associated with each offender ID. Remove cases from the active workload by withdrawing or submitting a Case Closure Notice.

Bifurcated States

In addition to the published list of bifurcated states below, other states such as Texas, Colorado and Pennsylvania have bifurcated operations within their state. These states may require dual supervision cases to be entered separately so that those cases can be appropriately assigned to users within their states.

• Arizona
• Connecticut
• Georgia
• Hawaii
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Massachusetts
• Nebraska
• New Jersey
• New York
• South Dakota
