Intensive Session: Putting Standards Into Practice: Action Plans for Community Supervision Agencies Implement the Standards (FREE)
SESSION INFO
Sunday, August 24, 2025
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session Type: Intensive
The National Standards for Community Supervision, released June 2024 by APPA, provide a comprehensive, research-backed resource for agencies. They aim to improve public safety, enhance rehabilitation, and optimize resource allocation.
To make these Standards more actionable, CJI is developing "one-pager" summaries. These tools will highlight essential elements, necessary resources, implementation responsibilities, anticipated challenges, and practical timelines/outcomes.
This interactive workshop will use these one-pagers for hands-on application. Participants will align daily practices with national benchmarks through group activities, documenting three actionable steps for their agency to better implement the Standards.
