Strategy 3: Improve the effectiveness of supervision to reduce recidivism.

Use risk and needs assessments to prioritize supervision resources for people who are most likely to reoffend.
Set goals for the number of people on officer caseloads who are at a high risk of reoffending.
Hire officers, as needed, to meet caseload size goals that allow officers to provide differentiated and tailored supervision.
Create reduced supervision strategies for people at a low risk of reoffending.
Align supervision terms with the period when people are most likely to reoffend.
Incentivize compliance with conditions of supervision through earned time credits.

Revise supervision officer recruitment and hiring practices to target people who are interested in helping people change their behavior and holding them accountable.
Require supervision staff to receive training on RNR principles and CCP as part of onboarding and periodically thereafter.
Include use of CCP in supervision staff’s performance reviews and promotion consideration.

Require supervision officers to use of a range of incentives for good behavior on supervision.
Promote using a greater proportion of incentives than sanctions to encourage behavior change on supervision.
Permit the use of a range of sanctions, including short jail stays, when appropriate, to respond to supervision violations.
Establish specialized caseloads, where appropriate.
Provide supervision officers with necessary technology.
Track performance measures and recidivism outcomes.
