Status Definitions

Supervision - A form of intensive supervised custody in the community, including surveillance on the weekends and holidays, administered by officers of the Florida Department of Corrections, Probation and Parole Services who have restricted caseloads. It is a program in which the freedom of an offender is restricted within the community, home or non institutional residential placement and specified sanctions are imposed and enforced.

Community Control - A form of intensive supervision, with or without electronic monitoring, which emphasizes treatment and supervision of a sex offender in accordance with an individualized treatment plan administered by an officer who has a restricted caseload and specialized training. An officer who supervises an offender placed on sex offender community control must meet as necessary with a treatment provider and polygraph examiner to develop and implement the supervision and treatment plan, if a treatment provider and polygraph examiner specially trained in the treatment and monitoring of sex offenders are reasonably available.

Non-Supervision (Released) - Sexual offenders who have been released from Supervision or Community Control by the Department of Corrections, Probation and Parole Services but who are still required to register under and comply with the Jessica Lunsford Act.
