How to Read Marion County's Public Caseload Report (Roster) — Step by Step
Marion County Sheriff's Office publishes a public caseload report as a PDF. First thing to check: is this the most current version? Look for the line that says
Read the roster one entry at a time, moving across the page. The report uses columns: the person's name appears in the NAME column, their SID in the SID column, and the PO NAME column shows either a probation officer's name or a unit/status label. Find the right name first, then slide across that same line to grab the SID and see what's listed in the PO field.
Quick scan tip: Start by locating the NAME, then slide your eyes to the right on the same line to capture the SID, and then the PO NAME column (which may be a person’s name or a unit label).

Some PO-column entries look more like internal routing than a person's name. The report sometimes uses unit or status labels - things like
When the PO field shows a placeholder or unit label like
- Confirm the “Report Generated” timestamp - make sure you’re working from the current roster before you call or email.
- Write down the exact PO-field text - note the placeholder/unit label exactly as it appears (for example, “VACANT GENERAL” or “UNIT INTAKE”).
- Contact Community Corrections to ask who is covering the case - share the name, SID, and the PO-field text so they can point you to the correct person/unit.
Once you find your loved one's line, take note of the SID and whatever appears in the PO field - whether that's a probation officer name, a unit label, or a placeholder. If the roster doesn't give you a usable PO contact, reach out to Marion County Community Corrections leadership. The Community Corrections biennial plan lists Mike Hartford as Community Corrections Director/Manager, along with an office phone number and email. That's a practical starting point for figuring out who's assigned or covering the case.
- ✓ The person’s name exactly as it appears on the roster
- ✓ The SID from the SID column
- ✓ The “Report Generated” date/time from the top of the PDF
- ✓ The exact PO NAME value shown (PO name, unit label, or placeholder text)
Verification note: Labels like “LIMITED SUPERVISION” and “IMMIGRATION IMMI” appear on the roster, but the public files don’t spell out what those labels mean operationally. If the label affects what you plan to do next, confirm the meaning with Community Corrections before relying on it.
