Final answer:
The LAVNS system provides 24-hour automated monitoring of offender custody status, not just during traditional business hours, making the given statement False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the LAVNS (Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System) is an automated victim notification system that monitors the custody status of offenders in parish jails, state prisons, and current court cases available to victims during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday through Friday is False. LAVNS provides 24-hour access to offender custody information to victims.
This service is not limited to business hours and allows victims to inquire about the status of an offender at any time. LAVNS is a resource that ensures victims have continual access to vital information which can increase their personal safety and keep them informed on the status of offenders.
