New - Incident Offender Infraction Weapon Template

Incident Offender Infraction Weapon Template: Version 1.0
A new template is created that reports incidents where the Offender has a weapon attribute. The template connects a weapon to the offender and infraction of an incident. If multiple weapons are associated with the incident/offender, the template extracts a record for each weapon type for the same Incident ID and Offender ID. The template includes the following columns: Submitting_District_Code, Incident_ID, Offender_ID, Infraction_Code, School_Year_Date, Weapon_Code, Weapon_Count
Note: The correct setup for Object Codes/Sub-Codes at the District Office is required prior to creating incidents and can be completed using the Load Codes/Sub-Codes script.
