The Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) is an
organization of Compact commissioners appointed by the 53 member states
and territories to make rules that carry out the policies under which
offenders are transferred between and among states. Its mission is to
guide the transfer of offenders in a manner that promotes effective
supervision strategies consistent with public safety, offender
accountability, and victims’ rights. The Commission provides consistent
guidelines and rules to its members on how to handle the transfer of adult
offenders across state lines. The purpose of the interstate compact
agreement is to promote public safety, protect victims and their rights,
control and track offender movements, and rehabilitate the offender.
Day-to-day oversight of the processes under which offenders are
transferred is done by the Interstate Compact offices in the 53 states and
territories.
A Compact offender is one who is under supervision as the result of the
commission of a criminal offense and released to the community under the
jurisdiction of courts, paroling authorities, corrections, or other
criminal justice agency. A state must accept an offender for transfer
before he or she becomes an Interstate Compact offender.
The Web-based Interstate Compact Offender Tracking System (ICOTS)
facilitates the transfer and documentation of Compact offenders.
Upon confirmation of the receiving state’s “receipt” of an offender via an
ICOTS transaction, a notification (Compact Offender Profile) message will
be sent to the appropriate entity (e.g., fusion center) based on the
RECEIVING_STATE code.
When the receiving state has confirmed the arrival of an offender through
an Interstate Compact Offender Tracking System (ICOTS) arrival
transaction, a “Compact Offender Profile” (notification) will be sent to
the notification receiving entity located in the receiving state.
