If an offender living in the community fails to appear for his/her first scheduled interview, he/she will be sent another letter scheduling a second interview. If the offender fails to appear for the second appointment; refuses to cooperate in the assessment process (where the offender's aggressive, threatening, or disruptive behavior prevents an assessment); or the offender voluntarily terminates the assessment after having been advised of the consequences, he/she will be assigned a default level.

FTP will refer appropriate incidents to the prosecutor in the county of registration for refusal to cooperate with the assessment process, a Class C Felony (see Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-904(a)).
