Data Management Plan. County of Sonoma CCP Data Management and Evaluation Sub-committee

Transcription

1 County of Sonoma CCP Data Management and Evaluation Sub-committee CCP Organizing Principles 1. Use of detention beds should be minimized, consistent with public safety, and integrity of the criminal justice system; 2. The system and decisions should be based on the public safety risk of offenders; 3. The realignment approach should be based on research tested methods, as much as practicable; 4. Programming is to be provided to offenders in-custody, as well as out of custody. Data Management Plan Data Collection Elements What are the fundamental data points that need to be collected to track the new populations? The focus of the sub-committee s work thus far has been collection of data in the Integrated Justice System (IJS). As the committee work continues the examination of data collection will need to encompass County Agencies (outside of Justice) as well as Community Based Organizations to more fully evaluate the impact of realignment on Sonoma County. 1. Post Release Community Supervision (PCS) a. Identify at Party Level (is the defendant on this case under PCS?) b. Identify at the Person Level (is the person under PCS on any case?) c. Start and Stop of Probation Supervision d. Terms and Conditions e. Flash Incarcerations f. Violations g. Revocations h. Warrants 2. Non/Non/Non N3 (1170(h) Eligible) a. Identify at Person Level Ineligibility by Priors b. Identify at Party Level Ineligibility at Filing c. Identify at Party Level Ineligibility at Conviction (h) Sentenced a.

2 Data Collection Start-up Plan What are the additions and modifications to the Integrated Justice System that will facilitate the capture of data elements listed above as well as provide, from a case management perspective, a smooth process flow through the Criminal Justice System? The estimated cost to provide all the listed changes below is $70, Enter new cases for PCS individuals a. Create a new Case Prefix PCS for Probation entry of cases. b.

5 Evaluation Plan Overall Evaluation Question What is the impact of the 2011 public safety realignment on Sonoma County? Proposed Evaluation Overview This evaluation will include both process (what has happened) and outcome (what is the impact) information. The Data Management Evaluation Sub-committee recommends the following: 1. Hire an evaluation consultant, with experience in evidence-based criminal justice services, to do the following: a. Provide relevant information about best practices from published literature, jurisdictions in other states, and jurisdictions in California. b. Finalize the evaluation questions (draft questions on following pages). c. Finalize a plan to collect the data including identification of all needed and reasonable data elements. Significant progress has already been made with IJS. Data from sources other than IJS will also be necessary. d. Conduct and/or assist with data collection. e. Conduct and/or assist with data analysis and reporting. f. Develop and/or assist with developing a plan to collect and use information over the next 2-3 years. This includes developing and/or assisting with the development of ongoing operational report templates that are reproducible by Sonoma County after the contract ends. This should include real time reports for case management and regular management reports for program planning. We believe this work could be completed in one year. However, if adequate funding is not available in the first year, spreading the work over two years would be reasonable. It is anticipated that the contract would range from $80,000 to $200,000 depending on the level of work the contractor does in steps d. through f. 2. Develop inter-departmental Memorandums of Agreement for information sharing to ensure that offenders receive the appropriate services and to be able to answer the evaluation questions (see following pages). 3. Create a ½ time ISD Business Intelligence Programmer position to build the County s Data Warehouse and reporting capabilities. This position would provide a missing lynchpin to the County s timely reporting and data mining capabilities. The estimated annual cost would be approximately $100,000.
