Leveraging Community Corrections Technology in a Pre/Present/Post Pandemic World
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 1, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Having a centralized unit overseeing low-risk cases allows district officers time, energy and resources in the field to focus on those in their charge needing more attention. This speaks directly to the philosophy of reentry, meeting supervisees where they are. Low-risk supervisees, do better when not mixed in with higher levels of risk, and when not over-supervised by officers compelled to assembly line their caseload. This is classic risk responsivity in action. Providing officers a central point of contact for vendor interaction, and providing the vendor with a central point of contact for a variety of agency responses allows for enhanced dialogue, training, achievement of supervision goals, savings in the millions of dollars, all while maintaining a firm focus on long-term community safety.
