History
What a Prosecutor Should Know
and Why They Should Care
I became a prosecutor in May 2001. Over the years, I heard of the Interstate Compact for Adult
Offender Supervision (ICAOS); however, I had no idea its function or my responsibilities as a prosecutor
to be a member of the Kansas Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision. It was at this time I
met Matthew Billinger, Deputy Compact Administrator for the State of Kansas. He provided me with the
history of the compact, the compact rules, and potential consequences for violating the rules. Of course,
as a professional prosecutor, I only paid partial attention to Matthew’s information until he stated there
me and the rest of the members of the Council, a violation had occurred and the State of Kansas was
corrective action plan, which requires the Council to educate judges, prosecutors, and defense counsel on
the interstate compact. It is to this end, I have asked Matthew to provide this basic review of the compact
and potential pitfalls to avoid. His information is below.
