Ex Parte reporting process?

• A. Update Service attempt in versadex, no GO. Include 'where taken to'
• B. Call a supervisor
• C. File a police report
• D. Notify magistrate

Answer: (A)

The key idea is documenting the service attempt in the agency’s records system so there is a precise, auditable trail of what happened. For ex parte service, updating the service attempt in Versadex with details such as where the subject was taken to creates an official record that can be reviewed by supervisors and the court. This keeps the service history transparent and verifiable, and supports any required follow-up.

While contacting a supervisor or notifying the magistrate might be appropriate in certain circumstances, they do not replace the formal on-record entry in the case management system. Filing a police report isn’t the standard step for this kind of documentation.
