3 - High Impact |
Without the risk/needs assessment information, all offenders would have to be supervised at the highest level until a new assessment could be created. This would impact public safety by losing focus on high risk cases and economically, it would impact the budget by having to provide overtime to staff to recreate file information. Probation and Parole relies on Case Management to maintain case notes and special notes. All contacts with the offender and all known events are documented in Case Management. Documentation includes the offender's status, violations, treatment referrals, conditions of supervision, and special notes. A special note may include information on the offender's history of violence which would alert officers or staff dealing with the case, to proceed with caution. Accurate documentation and history is necessary to enhance public safety and provide proper supervision. A loss of the case notes would pose a public safety risk, officer safety risk and/or offender safety risk. Accurate and up to date records are important for Probation and Parole to effectively supervise offenders to successfully reintegrate them into society. |
Probation and Parole relies on Case Management in Lotus Notes to maintain data and manage offenders currently on supervision. Probation and Parole has over 71000 offenders convicted of felonies on supervision. With 510 field officers, the average headcount per officer is 139 offenders. Case Management is a tool that maintains contact information such as addresses, phone numbers, relatives and special notes on the offender regarding his status and supervision level. Because this information is not in any other database, the risk of losing Case Management would cause great risk to the community, to public safety, and to officer safety. It would also create an unfairness to the offender that could possibly lead to law suits for improper actions. Public Safety is most important to Probation and Parole. Probation and Parole relies on Case Management to provide officers with the offender's address and contact information. To lose contact with over 71000 offenders in the community including sex offenders and violent offenders would be a great risk to public safety. Probation and Parole relies on Case Management to maintain offender's status and supervision level. All offenders are assigned a supervision level based on statute, policy or a risk/needs assessment tool which is maintained in Case Management. Due to the volume of cases, Probation and Parole uses the supervision level to establish priority to the higher risk offenders. |
