SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 1, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The field of community corrections is often misunderstood but an expanding component of the criminal justice system. Tools of the trade are ever-evolving from innovation among multiple industries and acclimating to the clientele serviced. States are deferring inmates from prisons and placing them on some form of supervision. In doing so, offenders with varying risk levels and criminal backgrounds are being supervised within communities. To manage the continuing increase in caseloads and ensure public safety, supervising smarter, not harder, by using technology and new ways of thinking and working become imperative to managing officer workloads. Just how do probation officers take advantage of the various devices and technologies within an ever-changing work environment? Discussions will explore using technology to supervise, surveil, and manage the large sums of data collected. Exploration in areas where improvements and advancements can be incorporated into agency practices will be the focus.
