Think short-term and long-term.<\/p>

Jails are most often run by sheriffs and\/or local governments and are designed to hold individuals awaiting trial or a serving short sentences (in Kansas, inmates serving 364 days or less serve their time in jail).<\/p>

Prisons are operated by state governments and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and are designed to hold individuals convicted of crimes.<\/p>

Jails operate work release programs, boot camps, and other specialized services. They try to address educational needs, substance abuse needs, and vocational needs while managing inmate behavior. Inmate idleness contributes to management problems.\u00a0 State prison systems operate halfway houses, work release centers and community restitution centers – all considered medium or minimum custody. Inmates assigned to such facilities are usually reaching the end of their sentences.<\/p>

There are approximately 3,600 jails in the United States.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Civil cases are generally brought by private individuals or corporations seeking to collect money owed or monetary damages.\u00a0 A criminal case is brought by the local, state or federal government in response to a suspected violation of law and seeks a fine, a jail sentence or both.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

According to Kansas Statutes, a sexual offender is a person convicted of (or who has pled no contest or guilty to) a sex offense involving a minor and who is released on or after October 1, 1997 from the sanction (e.g., fine, incarceration, probation, etc.) imposed as a result of the offense. Offenses include, but aren\u2019t limited to, child pornography, sexual performance by a child under 18 and procuring a person under 18 for purposes of prostitution. Consult the\u00a0Kansas Statutes for a complete listing of offenses.<\/p>

A predator designation requires that a person be convicted of a first-degree felony sex crime or two second-degree felony sex crimes (with offenses, convictions or release from court sanctions occurring within 10 years) and which occurred after October 1, 1993. In addition, the court must issue a written order finding for predator status.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The main difference is the area of jurisdiction.\u00a0 A sheriff’s office provides law enforcement services and\/or jail services for a county or other civil subdivision of a state.\u00a0 A police department serves a specific municipality, city, town or village.\u00a0 Often, cities contract for law enforcement services with the county sheriff’s office.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you have lost your license tag or suspect it was stolen, file a police report and get a case number. You won’t be able to replace your tag without that case number.<\/p>

Call Dispatch non-emergency number at (785) 843-0250 and a deputy will stop by to take a report. If you reside outside\u00a0the Douglas County Sheriff’s\u00a0Office \u00a0jurisdiction, contact your local police department. Once you have the case number, apply for your new tag at the nearest Department of Motor Vehicles office.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Because of the way cellular telephone calls are routed, calls to 9-1-1 may not reach the proper dispatch operators. Generally, the police agency that receives a cellular 9-1-1 call is determined by the origination of the call in relation to a specific cellular tower.<\/p>

If you are reporting an emergency via cellular telephone, it’s crucial to inform the 9-1-1 operator of your exact location. The appropriate and closest response can then be activated.<\/p>

The SMART 911 service can help. More information can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
