case management: status and disposition of cases
OVERVIEW
We see many departments keeping closed cases forever, over- and under-reporting crime data, and misreporting their clearance rates, all due to issues in the world of case management. From too many status options in the RMS, to gaps in case management procedure, if the proper status and disposition of cases is not maintained throughout the course of an investigation and all the way through the judicial process, agency stats and retention of records will never be accurate or in compliance.
Learn what case management really is and how it affects your NIBRS data, clearance rates, records retention periods, and the procedures needed to keep case status and dispositions correct throughout the course of an investigation and prosecution.
Do you hear back from your local court or D.A. when a case has met disposition? How are arrests which are made by other agencies on your warrants handled? How should multiple offense and multiple suspect cases be written and cleared? Can you clear a case by arrest when a warrant is obtained?
Course Highlights
- The difference between status and disposition options in your RMS, how they function, and when should they be changed
- Who should be authorized to change the status of a case
- How and when supplements should be submitted
- Clearing cases vs. offenses
- The importance of court dispositions and case status
- Ensuring communication between agencies and the judicial system in your area to provide for proper case management
