| JUNE 2002 TEAM STATS..........WE CONTINUE TO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF "PUBLIC PROTECTION. |
| TEAM PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 2002/FISCAL YR. END. |
| CASES/OFFICERS: THE EAST TEAM HAS 9 OFFICERS SERVING 5 COUNTIES IN A RURAL SETTING. WE CURRENTLY SERVE 782 OFFENDERS IN THOSE COUNTIES. WE HAD AN INCREASE OF 7% OF CASES THIS MONTH. OFFICERS ARE OVERWHELMED WITH CASES THAT ALL CASES ARE NOT BEING REPORTED..NEW REPORTING REQUIRMENTS OF THE "OMS" SYSTEM CALL FOR OFFICERS TO INCLUDE NUMBERS OF INVESTIGATIONS OF ALL TYPES ON THEIR CASELOADS. SOME OFFICERS DO NOT INCLUDE THESE AS IT REQUIRES SEVERAL HOURS TO REPORT, WHICH THEY FEEL THEY DON'T HAVE. DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS AND CASE MANAGEMENT PROCESS IS NOT YET COMPUTERIZED (AFTER OVER 5YRS. AND 25MILLION DOLLARS) TO EASE THE OFFICERS BURDEN OF TECHNICAL REPORTING OF EACH MONTHS ACTIVITIES..THE CURRENT OFFENDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USED BY THE DEPT. IS BURDENSOME AND TIME CONSUMING. OFFICERS HAVE LITTLE TIME TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH OFFENDERS...TO IMPACT THEIR BEHAVIOR AND "MAKE A DIFFERENCE" IN THEIR LIVES. CASELOADS ARE INCREASING BY AT LEAST 3% PER MONTH WITH AN AVERAGE OF 87 CASES PER OFFICER ON THIS TEAM. THIS IS 25 CASES TOO MANY TO DEAL WITH FOR "EFFECTIVE" SUPERVISION. THE EAST TEAM OPENED 47 NEW CASES THIS MONTH AND CLOSED 33. OFFENDER EMPLOYMENT: NEARLY 80% OF ALL OFFENDERS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SELF SUSTAINING TREATMENT/PROGRAMS: 6 OFFENDERS ARE INVOLVED IN IN-PATIENT TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS. 86 OFFENDERS ARE INVOLVED IN "OUT-PATIENT SERVICES" ......5 PAROLEES AND 28 PROBATIONERS WERE REFERRED TO TREATMENT THIS MONTH. INVESTIGATIONS/ASSESSMENTS: IN JUNE 02, THE EAST TEAM COMPLETED 20 PSI/DELAYED SENTENCE INVESTIGATIONS; 12 PRE-PAROLE RESIDENCE VERIFICATIONS/ 58 LSI-R ASSESSMENTS AND 61 SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSESSMENTS WERE COMPLETED..3 SEX OFFENDERS WERE REGISTERED AND 7 DNA SAMPLES WERE AQUIRED....8 INTERSTATE INVESTIGATIONS WERE COMPLETED. ARRESTS/REVOCATIONS: 16 OFFENDERS WERE REVOKED OR ACCELERATED THIS MONTH. ONLY 6 OFFENDERS , OR .008%, WERE ARRESTED FOR NEW FELONY OR MISDEMEANOR CRIMES THIS MONTH. THIS MEANS THAT 99.9% OF ALL OFFENDERS WERE SUCCESSFUL THIS MONTH. SUCCESS RATE: THE EAST TEAM OF DISTRICT 5 CONTINUES TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT "PUBLIC SAFETY" ....OUR SUCCESS RATE IS 99.9% THIS MONTH. FOR THE DOLLARS EXPENDED ( TAX DOLLARS) NO OTHER SOURCE PROVIDES THE PUBLIC SAFETY AT SUCH AN AFFORDABLE PRICE ( APPROX. 647.00 DOLLARS PER YR.) ...OUR PROBLEM IS THAT WE ONLY HAVE 267 PROBATION AND PAROLE OFFICERS WATCHING OVER 30,000 OFFENDERS ON THE STREETS...WE NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ( APPROX. 520 NEW PROBATION OFFICERS) TO HANDLE THE LOAD....THE COST WOULD RISE TO APPROXIMATELY $900 PER YR. PER OFFENDER WHICH IS STILL LOWER THAN "INCARCERATION"( 13,000- $22,000) OR "COMMUNITY SENTENCING"( WHICH HAS NOW INCREASED TO OVER $2,000) PER YR. PER OFFENDER.... DAVID L. HAMILTON, TEAM SUPERVISOR DISTRICT 5, PROBATION/PAROLE/CC |
