      • We proactively only exclude only people under felony indictment for specific offenses against the consent of others if it is reported to us. We only act on what can be verified. This must be done privately, and in a non-punitive manner. Upon resolution of case, they can contact us for review. The Board then can decide whether there is a danger, and justify its decision.
