After Initial Identification

Introduction

This topic provides information about what to do after the initial identification has been made.

The service manager will need to provide information to the area manager to help them make an informed decision about whether notification should occur.

Information to be provided to the area manager

The service manager is responsible for providing information to the area manager to aid in the decision making process.

This information should include:

• a copy of the offender’s file including all psychologists reports and sentencing notes
• details of the offenders address (if known) including a description of the address, details of all occupants, and information about neighbouring properties
• details of any suppression orders or victim issues
• the completed CSO10 CSO Notification Initial Identification Memo.

CSO notification memo

The CSO10 CSO Notification Initial Identification Memo is sent by the service manager to the area manager and is used to provide information necessary for the area manager.
