5.4 Retaking

Chapter 5.4
Effective April 1, 2026

     As established in Article I of the ICAOS, officers from a sending state are authorized to enter a receiving state, or any other state to which a supervised individual has absconded, for the purpose of retaking. Rule 5.101(a) states that the decision to retake rests solely within the discretion of the sending state with exceptions to this discretion required in Rules 5.101-1, 5.102, 5.103 and 5.103-1.
