Active officer

An active officer is an officer that is currently working for the agency. When an officer's record is active, you can select the officer's name to fill in fields, for example, in Setup New Defendants. On the other hand, when an officer's record is not active, you will not be able to select the officer's name to fill in fields.

Is this officer currently working for the agency?

Yes. Click to select the Active Officer checkbox.
No. Click to deselect the Active Officer checkbox.

Agency

The agency is the organization that employs the officer. Each officer is assigned to a default agency. The default agency displays in the Agency field in Setup/Modify Existing Cases when you select the officer's name. You can use the Agency menu, the button located at the end of the Agency field, to view additional options.
