5 Overview The strategic plan for Williamson County Community Supervision and Corrections Department will provide information for the goals, strategies and objectives of the Department for the next four years. The plan will also provide a view of the Department s jurisdiction population and offender profiles. During fiscal year 2014, the three highest offenses of offenders supervised by this Department were Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance 25.7%, Felony Property Crimes 23.5%, Felony Violent Crimes 21.7% and Driving While Intoxicated 17.2%. Our Department has always made great efforts to reduce technical violations and use the resources around us to interrupt criminal thinking but with the top offenses still present, our department deems it is necessary to provide substance abuse counseling services as well as programs (evidence based) specifically designed to interrupt criminal thinking. The availability of substance abuse counseling services within the Department has been offered since 2010 along with an extensive availability of services within our county s jurisdiction; however many of the services that are available have limits on the amount of individuals that can be served. In some cases the cost of the services can also be prohibitive for offenders (according to U.S. Census American Community Survey 7.82% of residences within the Department s jurisdiction are below the poverty line. Some programming options are available for the percentage of the population that fall within this poverty percentage. This allows an opportunity for most clients in need to participate in substance abuse counselling. Although substance abuse counseling is a program we have available, there continues to be an increase in supervision placements of offenders with medical issues, mental impairments and offenders who are placed due to sex offenses. The Department will continue to offer specialized caseload attention along with collaborating with offenders to seek out medical resources, mental health resources to supervise offenders with mental impairments and continue to provide sex offender counseling services within our Department s jurisdiction. 4

What are the causes of Williamson County CSCDs declining population? Reduced crime rates Changes in the overall judicial system and community corrections field Economic decline makes offenders more likely to choose incarceration over probation o Time credits for state jail felonies and 3 rd degree offenses reduces the duration of the probated sentences. Urgency to clear dockets o Sentencing practices shifting toward shorter incarcerations DPS drug lab testing backlog results in cases being reduced or dismissed 7

9 Overview: Revocation Rates State vs. Williamson County CSCD - FY2014 State Felony Revocation Rate 11.20% Williamson Felony Revocation Rate 7.40% State Misdemeanor Revocation Rate 15.30% Williamson Misdemeanor Revocation Rate 14.68% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% Perspectives on Revocation Rates For FY2014, Williamson County maintained a felony and misdemeanor revocation rate that was below the state average. The low revocation rates can be attributed to a variety of factors: Client centered supervision An evidence based screening and assessment process Specialized supervision and treatment based upon assessments Residential substance abuse treatment for high risk substance abuse cases Access to several sex offender treatment providers Cognitive education programs Use of progressive sanctions Officers trained in Motivational Interviewing Specialty courts that operate on the non-adversarial approach 8

10 Overview: Technical Violation Percentages State vs. Williamson County CSCD - FY2014 State Felony Technical Percentage 49.30% Williamson Felony Technical Percentage 50.60% State Misdemeanor Technical Percentage 66.20% Williamson Misdemeanor Technical Percentage 52.60% Perspectives on Technical Violations 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% For FY2014, Williamson County maintained a felony technical violation percentage that was just above the state average. The felony technical violation percentage can be attributed to offenders on state jail felony offenses are not likely to agree with significant probation sanctions when the alternative state jail sentence is more appealing than the probation program sanctions. The FY2014 misdemeanor technical violation percentage is well below the state average because misdemeanor offenders are frequently offered amendments to their probation conditions in lieu of revocation for technical violations. 9

The CSCD attributes the higher than average success rates to a variety of factors. Providing sufficient programming to meet the needs of the offender population helps ensure offenders are provided the opportunity to learn and change their criminal behaviors. Providing specialized supervision for offenders who have the most identified risk and needs. The client centered supervision approach taken by our officers helps by officers working with offenders on an individual needs. We do not use the one shoe fits all approach to supervision. Offenders are also placed in appropriate level of programming based upon their assessed risk and needs. Officers work with the offenders to motivate and encourage them to be successful on probation. 10
