Creating Zones
Zones are a useful way to enhance offender movement tracking. You will be notified when an
offender violates an assigned zone. There are two types of zones: Inclusion and Exclusion.
Inclusion zones define an area in which an offender needs to remain. For example, if he/she is
confined to only their home and work, time sensitive zones can be created around each location. You
can then monitor when an offender leaves his/her assigned zones.
Exclusion zones define an area(s) where an offender is prohibited from entering. For example, an
offender may have been ordered to stay at least 500 feet from his/her former spouse’s home. A time
sensitive zone can be set up around the home and activated 24/7. When the offender enters into this
zone, a violation is produced.
Create a zone based on an address
The following steps create a zone based on an address:
1. Mouse over either the Supervision or the Administration menu options and select Zone.
Create a new zone or select one already created.
2. Click on Add New Zone to begin the process for creating a new zone.
3. Complete the Zone Entry fields
Create a Zone from the map
The following steps create a zone based on an address:
1. Locate the zone area on the map. Go to a specific address using the Map link on the main
menu.
2. Click on the
Create/Edit Zone icon. This will place a small blue ball onto the middle
of the map. Drag the blue ball to create the circumference of the zone. Move the center
green ball to the location of the zone (it does not have to be exactly in the center of the map).
3. Click on the
Create/Edit Zone icon again to complete the Zone Entry form.
Complete the Zone Entry fields beginning with the Zone Name. Because the zone location and size
are already defined you do not need to add the zone address, Geo-code, or enter the buffer distance.
Note: Global Zones hits do not change the offender track icon on the map.
