Description:
Both probation and parole grow with the culture. Social media, music, movies, family and friends play a huge role in our ever-evolving careers. As the culture changes, so do people’s perception of community supervision. As controversial news involving law enforcement agencies hits the headlines, the relationship between officers and community becomes very fragile. Millennials are becoming fearless – they use social media and technology to create movements to spread awareness. Often this awareness paints a bad perception of what we do as probation officers. Recent studies show that millennials (born between 1980 to 2000) are more likely to be arrested than their predecessors of Generation X (born between 1965 to 1979) and Baby Boomers (born between 1944 to 1964) even though crime has drastically declined since the 1980s. Is it their use of technology, social media or new methods of protest? Is it the economy, gentrification or their lack of conformity to old ways?

Description
Recent legislation has introduced sophisticated victim notification systems, providing real-time alerts and crucial information to those affected by domestic violence. These systems offer new avenues to safeguard and empower victims, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions and access timely resources. However, the effectiveness of these programs hinges on more than just cutting-edge technology; it calls for the active collaboration of law enforcement, social services, advocacy groups, and the broader community. A unified effort is essential to ensure that victims receive the full protection and support they need.
During this session we will review the implementation of the Tiffany Hill Act (SB 5149) in Washington and the recently implemented Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act (HB2692) in Tennessee and how they are supporting victims of domestic and intimate partner violence. This session will include industry experts from the legislative and investigatory levels to discuss how victim notification can and should be utilized. In addition, this session will include a short demo of the technology that is available to correlate the capabilities and limitations of using victim notification.

Description:
Every year, hundreds of thousands of individuals are arrested for driving under the influence and in 2021 these impaired drivers were responsible for 13,284 fatalities. Community justice and treatment professionals can face unique challenges in assessing risk levels for these offenders while determining the most appropriate level and type of supervision, technology and treatment needs to minimize the risk of a re-offense and a new victim. This interactive training will provide an overview and continuum of the most recent evidence-based practices for addressing the issues of high-risk impaired drivers from arrest to discharge. This includes the latest research on assessment tools, characteristics of high-risk impaired drivers, polysubstance use, community supervision strategies, available technologies, the use of Problem-Solving Courts, as well as treatment programming to help criminal justice and treatment professionals maximize their effectiveness while reducing risk to the community.

This webinar will launch APPA’s training initiative that will focus on examining the current state of community corrections and discuss strategies for dealing with emerging issues (staffing shortages, emerging technology, artificial intelligence, TVOPs and their impact on revocations, etc.) that may negatively or positively impact community corrections. During this webinar, practitioners will continue to examine a crucial question – What is the future of community corrections? This presentation will examine the current state of community corrections that will include identifying barriers that impede the field from moving forward. The webinar will also look toward the future by engaging participants in a discussion focusing on expectations, needs, and challenges community corrections agencies may face within the next ten years. An undergirding goal of this webinar and upcoming presentations is consideration of issues impacting work done by criminal justice agencies and professionals.

Description:
This workshop encompasses the unavoidable and ultimately necessary decision to transition an aging case management legacy system to a modern one. For most Probation/Parole leaders, the decision is complex and requires a clear roadmap for communication, budgeting, staff aptitude for new technology, and change management that must work in a coordinated effort to transition successfully.
