Posted — UpdatedThe Web-based application, which went online Oct. 29, alerts probation officers when an offender in their caseload is arrested or convicted and when a warrant or order for arrest is issued, Department of Correction spokesman Keith Acree said in a news release.
Starting Jan. 1, all probation officers in the state will be required to use it.
“It has been a long time coming. We are happy it is here,” Chief of Support Services Cynthia Williams said.
Officers can also review their entire caseload and see which offenders have been arrested or convicted since the previous day, he said.
The online system is connected to arrest and conviction data from the Administrative Office of the Courts, Acree said.
