8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop

When managing clients that have multiple sources of compliance data from monitoring equipment, drug and substance testing, communications, remote reporting, and more, probation officers are faced with a daunting task of how to pull all information together to accurately assess overall compliance. With changes at states’ levels regarding location tracking reporting, drug testing labs shutting down, and a growing population within caseloads that respond differently to the use of technology, for officers to stay apprised of the options available and the best practices to follow can be time consuming. In this session we will investigate how various sources of information can be consolidated to identify actionable data while using statistics, analytics, and artificial intelligence to make better informed decisions regarding managing our caseloads more effectively. We will explore leveraging ubiquitous technologies to our advantage, harnessing that technology to provide better communication strategies, and how we can drive accountability and compliance with our caseloads from a proactive rather than reactive standpoint. Finally, we pull back the covers on emerging technologies such as miniaturizing monitoring technology to remove stigma and provide discreetness as well as differences between automation of data analysis and artificial intelligence to predictively identify problematic behaviors.
