Which indicator is set at any time?

• A. Physically handicapped
• B. Mentally ill
• C. Texas juvenile justice department
• D. Terminally ill

Answer: (C)

Indicators are flags on an offender’s record used to denote attributes or administrative assignments that affect handling and reporting. Some indicators describe health or personal conditions, such as physical handicaps, mental illness, or terminal illness. These require appropriate verification and medical documentation and are not things you toggle on or off at a moment’s notice. The indicator identifying the agency in charge, such as the Texas juvenile justice department, is an administrative flag that tracks jurisdiction. Jurisdiction can change quickly due to transfers or custody updates, so this indicator is designed to be set at any time to keep the record accurate and current. That flexibility is why the agency indicator is the best choice for being set at any time.
