Presenter
Phil Galli -
Director - Justice Support Services, St. Croix County (WI)
Shawn Trusten -
Planning Specialist - Community Corrections, Ramsey County (MN)

Description
Social support can help insulate individuals from negative life events such as crime involvement and other poor outcomes. While support is unlikely to eliminate negative outcomes, such as crime, it can help to buffer against these events. The Core Four is a model which considers the four types of social support (instrumental, expressive, received, perceived) and how discussions surrounding their implementation can be built into case management and planning. Topics discussed will include a history of social support in working with justice-impacted persons, the use of surveying to identify areas of need, and case planning. Policy implications include recommendations for programming in each of these four areas.

Presenter
Jack Martin -
Client Executive, Enterprise Supervision - Tyler Technologies, Inc.
Robert Ambroselli -
Director of Product, Enterprise Supervision - Tyler Technologies, Inc.

Description
Procuring enterprise supervision software is challenging, and not something you’re likely to do frequently in your career. It involves complex approval processes, dealing with information asymmetry, and understanding dynamic software features and pricing. If you miss critical requirements or choose the wrong partners, the consequences can include wasted resources, operational inefficiencies, and potential compliance issues. How can you make sure you lead your team confidently through this journey, especially if you only take it once?

Join us for this insightful webinar featuring Jack Martin, former director of Clark County Juvenile Justice Services, and Robert Ambroselli, former project consultant to the Alameda County Probation Department and director of state parole for California. With over 65 years of combined experience, Robert and Jack will share their invaluable expertise in mastering the complex terrain of software procurement.

“Navigating Software Procurement in Community Supervision” is a free webinar for professionals in the community corrections field, from line staff to heads of agencies. You’ll learn who to involve at each stage and the key questions to consider — from preplanning and stakeholder engagement, to writing RFPs, and from requesting demos to vendor selection and contract negotiation. This webinar is your roadmap to planning a successful transition from legacy systems to a modern case management solution.
