How do I add/remove officers?

An officer is an individual who is charged with police duties. Use Officers to record the officer's contact information, badge number, agency, and status.

You would add or remove officers to keep law enforcement and court personnel information accurate within the court system. Adding officers allows new or active officers to be associated with citations, cases, warrants, and reports, while removing officers helps prevent inactive or incorrect records from being used. Courts use this process to maintain accurate reporting, improve case tracking, and ensure proper assignment and identification of officers in court records.
