Reimagining Officer Caseload Assignment: The Benefits and Challenges of Weighted Community Supervision Caseload Assignments

SESSION INFO

Wednesday, March 4, 2026
9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Session Type: Workshop

This session introduces Douglas County Kansas Community Corrections’ weighted caseload tool and will discuss the benefits and challenges of officer caseload assignment based on risk score rather than on raw number of individuals placed on community supervision. This method of caseload assignment ensures a fair and balanced distribution of work among officers, preventing burnout and ensuring all individuals receive appropriate interventions with particular attention paid to those clients who are moderate or high-risk. Further, the weighted caseload structure promotes equitable workloads and increases efficient allocation of resources.
