Abbreviations
Throughout the Kansas Offender Registry web site, abbreviations have been used to preserve formatting. Where an abbreviation is used, a dotted line will be present under the abbreviated word. A description of the abbreviation is available by holding the cursor over the text with the dotted underline. While the cursor is hovered over the text, a small question mark will appear next to the cursor. After a short delay, a text description of the abbreviation will appear in a small box beneath the question mark.
If you are unable to see the dotted lines, or the text descriptions are not displaying in your browser, please consult the glossary of abbreviations.
