Mission Goal

• Our mission is to protect the safetyof citizens throughout NorthCarolina by providing viable a’ternatives and meaningfu)Supervision to offenders placed in our custody.

4 Our primary goal is to accomplish our mission by reaching an equalbalance of control and treatment for offenders that will positivelyaffect their behavior and lifestyle patterns.

VIOLATION PHILOSOPHY

The goal of community supervision is to selectively and proactivelyintervenewith offenders to reduce the likelihood of future criminal activityand promote compliance with the supervision strategy ensuring anappropriate and proportionate response to all violations of the conditions ofprobation, taking into account offender risk, the nature of the violation, andthe objective of offender accountability.

The basic expectations underlying the Division’s policy regarding probationviolations are:

There will be a response to every detected violation.‘ Responses to violations will be proportional to the risk to the

community posed by the particular offender, the severity of theviolation, and the current situational risk.

‘ Responses to violations will hold some potential for long-term positiveoutcomes in the context of the supervision strategy.

‘ While response to violation behavior is determined by consideringboth risk and needs, risk to the community is the overridingconsideration.

• Probationers who d emonstrate a h abitual u nwillingness t o a bide b ysupeMsion requirements or who pose undue risk to the communitywill be subject to revocation of probation.

INTRODUCTION

Division of Community Corrections

The Division of Community Corrections (DCC) is a division of the NorthCarolina Department of Correction. DCC is responsible for the supervisionof offenders placed on probation by the court system, and inmates releasedfrom prison on parotelsupervised release. There are 43 districts across thestate, and District 10 is comprised of Wake County. Statewide, DCC currentlysupervises 114,103 offenders. In District 10, there were 7,175 offendersunder supervision as of June 30, 2004.

The foundation of the Division of Community Correction’s supervisionstrategy is the establishment and utilization of a graduated continuum ofcommunity based punishments. These sanctions provide quatitysupervision and control over the offender and also deliver needededucational, vocational, and substance abuse programming for the offenderat a cost considerably below the cost of incarceration. Probation ParoleOfficers control offenders in the community by enforcing compliance withthe conditions of probation, parole, or post-release supervision, andmonitoring offender behavior. The regular conditions and special conditionsof supervision are established by the courts or the North Carolina PostRelease Supervision Commission. Officers refer offenders to a variety ofrehabilitative services and work with other agencies to encourageparticipation in programs such as substance abuse treatment, educationaland vocational training.

The Structured Sentencing Act, enacted in 1994, provides judicial guidelinesfor judges to sentence offenders to one of the following: a communitypunishment, an intermediate punishment, or an active prison sentence. Oneof the intentions of the Structured Sentencing Act was to reserve limitedprison space for the most serious offender. An additional outcome is thatDCC receives cases for supervision that in years past would have been sentto prison.

The Judge determines whether to impose a community or intermediatepunishment based on the seriousness of the offense and the offender’s priorcriminal record. An examp’e of a community punishment is traditionalprobation supervision, community service, or victim restitution. Anintermediate punishment is designed to be more restrictive while allowingthe offender to remain in the community, and could involve for example,intensive supervision, electronic house arrest, or in-patient substance abusetreatment.

Offenders on probation, parole, or post-release supervision are supervisedbased on the Court sentence received, the conditions imposed, theirbehavior, and their individual needs determined by our division needsassessment instrument and the officer’s judgment. Intermediate supervisionofficers are required to verify the residence and employment of offenders, aswell as, their compliance to supervision conditions. Officers also meet withoffenders at their residence and/or in the community, perform curfewchecks, conduct drug tests, contact offender’s family, law enforcementofficials, and service agencies involved with the offender, perform criminalrecord checks, serve warrants for arrest, and monitor court indebtedness ona frequent basis. Community supervision officers have similar requirementsbut do not contact offenders as often, and do not performcurfewchecks.

Intermediate supervision officers have more work experience thanCommunity supervision officers, and they receive specialized training.Intermediate officers are required to conduct the vast majority of offendercontacts in the community, away from the relative safety of the office.Intermediate officers are provided with a safety package which includes stateissued weapon, pepper spray, handcuffs, bullet proof vest, flashlight, andtwo-way radio communication. These officers have lower caseload goals (60cases) than community officers (90 cases). Officers who specialize inintensive supervision cases have even lower caseload goals (25 cases), andsome of our officers working Special Initiative officers have reducedcaseloads as well to help ensure their effectiveness.

Community Level Punishments

This is our “traditional” type of supervision. Under these guidelines, theoffenders are monitored by Community Probation Officers, must meet withtheir Probation Officer on an established schedule, and adhere to any Courtordered conditions.

Jntermediate Punishment Sanctions

The five intermediate sanctions in North Carolina are listed below.

SpUt Sentence /Special Probation —A probationary sentence that requiresthe offender to serve a period of incarceration, not to exceed six months,

followed b y a t erm of p robation u nder t he i ntermediate I evel of p robationsupervision. During fiscal year 2003-2004, five (5) offenders received thissanction in the i0~~’District.

Residential Community Corrections — Residentia’ treatment facilities,operated outside the scope of the Department of Correction, exist to addressspecific treatment or behavioral needs. Offenders ordered to participate inthis sanction must spend a specific period of time residing within the facility,usually a period from 30 days up to two years. Most residential programsare operated by non-profit organizations, and the Department of Correctionoperates two residential treatment programs; the IMPACT Boot CampProgram, and the DART therapeutic program. DART (Drug Alcohol RecoveryTreatment) Program operates spec~aIized 28-day and 90-day inpatienttreatment programs for muItip~eDWI offenders and chemically dependentoffenders who meet the criteria for probation or parole supervision. Divisionof Community Corrections staff provide on-site offender supervision as wellas coordination of participants to and from the facility.

Intensive Supervision — Supervision provided by a team of two officers, to arelatively small caseload of offenders (approximately 25). Contacts arefrequent (generally five per week), and many are made at night and onweekends. Each offender under this type of supervision is required tocomply with a curfew of 7:00 P.M., and usually a variety of other specialconditions required by the court such as regular drug testing and warrant-less searches of the offender’s residence and vehicle. This is a very popularsanction with the courts, and used when prison is not appropriate, but whena more restrictive form of supervision is called for beyond traditionalprobation supervision. There were six hundred and sixty seven (667)offenders sentenced to this type of supervision during FY2003-2004 inDistrict 10.

Electronic House Arrest — Offenders sentenced to this type of supervisionwear an electronic transmitter on their leg, which communicates with areceiving device in their home. The offender’s departures from and arrivalsto his!her residence are monitored electronically. Offenders are givenpermission to leave their residence for treatment, employment, oreducational purposes only. At all other times, they are required to remain in

Page 11: State of North Carolina Department of Correction Division ... · of supervision are established by the courts or the North Carolina Post Release Supervision Commission. Officers refer

9

their residence. If they leave without permission, the probation officer isnotified and is required to respond. Officers are on call to respond toviolations 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Offenders are placed onElectronic House Arrest (EHA) at initial sentencing, or as the result ofviotations of probation. EHA is a valuable tool in controlling the movementof certain types of offenders such as sex offenders, or repeat DWI offenders,and can be a useful punitive tool in gaining an offender’s compliance toprobation conditions. There were two hundred and fifty five (255) offenderssupervised on EHA in District 10 during this past fiscal year. The daily costof Electronic House Arrest supervision during the fiscal year was $6~65,which favorably compares to an average daily prison cost of $57.92.

Day Reporting Centers — Criminal Justice Partnership funded centers acrossthe state which focused on program/service delivery to probationers.Offenders assigned to this sanction report to the center on a structured andfrequent basis, receiving such services as substance abuse treatment,vocational training, GED, and cognitive behavioral interventions. WakeCounty contracts with Carolina Correctional Services to manage theoperations of the Wake Day Reporting Center, while Wake CountyIntermediate Officers Karl Wailer and Heather Clark provide casemanagement for the offenders assigned to this program. Surveillance OfficerDana Lassiter monitors compliance of mandatory curfews through eveninghour home visits. The Wake County Day Reporting Center has a dailycapacity of forty-five offenders, and it has averaged approximately thirty-seven participants per day during the past year.

Criminal Justice Partnership Program

The Criminal Justice Partnership Act of 1 994 created the Criminal JusticePartnership P rogram (CJPP), which p rovides s tate funds to help c ountiescreate sentenced offender and pretrial release programs. A local advisoryboard is responsible for developing, implementing, operating, monitoring,and evaluating a local community corrections plan.

During their July 7, 2003 meeting, the Wake County Board of Commissionersvoted to appoint a new advisory board for the Wake Criminal JusticePartnership Program. Those appointed were: Wake County CommissionerTony Gurley, Wake County Manager David Cooke, Community ServiceCoordinator Susan Copeland, Louise Davis of ReEntry Inc., Wake CountyPublic Safety Center Detention Services Director Frank Gunter, Earl Londonof Southlight Inca, Wake Technical Community College Dean of OccupationalEducation Gerald Mitchell, Community Corrections lO~I~Judicial DistrictManager Doug Pardue, District Court Judge Robert Rader, Superior CourtJudge Ripley Rand, Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby, andRobert Sorrels of Wake County Health and Human Services. In addition,Wake County Criminal Justice Planner Lach Kincaid served as the secretaryfor the board, and was an invaluable source of data and resource materials.

The goals of the CJPP are to reduce recidivism, reduce the number ofprobation revocations, reduce alcoholism and other drug dependenciesamong offenders, and to reduce the cost of incarceration. The populationseligible for Criminal Justice Partnership Program services are pretrialdetainees, intermediate punishment offenders (misdemeanor, felony andespecially probation violators) and offenders serving terms of parole/postrelease supervision. The Wake County Day Reporting Center (previouslydescribed) is funded by the Criminal Justice Partnership through a grant toWake County who in turn contracts the operations to be managed byCarolina Correctional Services, Inc.

During this past year, the board studied the concept of a Resource Center,which unlike a Day Reporting Center, is not considered a sanction. Theconsensus of the board was that there was a larger population of offendersthat could benefit from a Resource Center. At their February 3, 2004 meeting,the Advisory Board asked Carolina Correctional Services to prepare theirCJPP grant application for FY 2004-2005 to reflect a program change from aself-contained Day Reporting Center to a Resource Center, while maintainingthe core components of a Day reporting Center. The new grant proposal wasaccepted by the Wake CJPP Advisory Board as well as the State CJPPBoard, and we are now coordinating offender services through the WakeCriminal Justice Resource Center as of July 1,2004.

Substance Abuse Screening

The Substance Abuse Screening Program routinely screens for a variety ofillegal controlled substances such as cocaine and marijuana. Tests areinitiated and monitored by probation staff. The total number of specimenstestedduring the year in this District was 11,447. From those specimens,27% of the tests (3,094) were positive for llfegaf drugs. The cost perlaboratory urine drug screen for FY 2003-2004 was $4.86. The electronicstorage of drug screen results builds a valid and permanent database thatcan be easily accessed and follows the offender throughout the Departmentof Correction’s system. In addition, Wake County was involved in a pilotprogram utilizing hand-held drug test kits that began in March 2004. Thedesired benefit of this program was to allow our supervising officers to haveimmediate and o nsite test results available while the offender was still intheir presence. Results of the pilot program were favorable, and WakeCounty continues to utilize this new resource.

information entered into the lab databases is validated by creating specimenrequests with information transmitted directly from the offender’s record inthe Department’s computer system. This system allows drug screen resultsto be transmitted to our mainframe in real time, sending alerts to officers ofall positive drug test resuks, rejections and adulterated specimens.immediate notification of positive test results to officers helps to expedite

the process of offender confrontation and referrals for assessment andsubstance abuse treatment.

A seamless criminal justice and treatment provider system is the key to thesuccess of the Substance Abuse Screening Program. The process ofoffender assessment, placement, treatment and supervision is most effectivewhen built on the principles of integrated delivery and shared decision-making. The Division of Community Corrections’ Substance AbuseScreening Program is currently collaborating with TASC (TreatmentAlternatives to Street Crime), Drug Treatment Courts, Mental Health, CriminalJustice Partnership Day Reporting Centers and other agencies in an effort toensure that appropriate drug education and treatment services areaccessible to all offenders based on their individual needs. The impetus ofthe program’s growth is the desire to make services available to all thevarious entities across the state who are working toward reducing recidivismand controlling crime, which is often drug related. Together, this team canhave a strong and positive impact on drug use arid criminal behavior.

Interstate Compact Services

Developed in 1937, the Interstate Compact Office for the supervision ofparolees and probationers regulates the movement of offenders across statelines. The Compact Office is responsible for the oversight of probationersand parolees requesting to leave North Carolina, as well as investigatingrequests from other states whose offenders desire to reside in NorthCarolina.

On a daily basis, the office reviews transfer requests, assigns investigationsto field officers, reviews progress reports, processes violation and warrantrequests and reviews offender discharge and termination from supervisionrequests.

During this past year, District 10 received 80 offenders from other statesthrough t he I nterstate C ompact office to s upervise. D u ring t he s ame timeperiod, we transferred 67 offenders to other states through the InterstateCompact office.

Post Release SupeMs~on

Post release supervision is the mandatory supervised release, under theStructured S entencing Act, o f s tatutorily determined c lasses of offenders,subject to certain conditions. Post release supervision begins after theoffender has completed his/her prison sentence and is released.

For offences committed on or after 10-1-94, the post release supervisionperiod is six months. For offences committed on or after 12-1 -96, except sexoffenders, the period of supervision is nine months. For sex offensescommitted on or after 12-1 -96, the supervision period is five years.

The Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission is required to imposecertain conditions of supervision and has the discretion to impose others,such as community service, curfews, and drug testing. Specific conditionsare imposed for sex offenders, such as required sex offender treatment, or arestriction from having any contact with children. A violation of certaintypes of conditions could result in revocation and re-incarceration of theoffender.

Post release supervision is mandatory and is not made at the discretion ofthe Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission. An offender may not

13

refuse post release supervision. During the fiscal year, 84 such cases weresupervised in this district. This number will increase over time as moreoffenders are sentenced to prison under the Structured Sentencing Act, asopposed to older Parole statutes. Officers of the Division of CommunityCorrections supervise all offenders released under post- releasesupervision.

Parole Supervision

Parole is the early release from incarceration (normally due to goodbehavior) of eligible offenders sentenced to prison prior to the StructuredSentencing Act, subject to certain conditions. Release decisions and thedetermination of conditions imposed, are made at the discretion of the PostRelease Supervision and Parole Commission.

The Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission may choose not toparole an eligible offender. An offender may refuse parole, electing to servethe remainder of hislher prison term.

All offenders released from prison on parole are supervised by officers of theDivision of Community Corrections. During the fiscal year 124 parolees weresupervised in District 10. The number of parolees will decline over time, asthe number of inmates sentenced prior to the Structured Sentencing Act alsodeclines.

Community Service Work Program

Community Service is work performed without monetary compensation byan offender for a governmental or non-profit organization. It is aconstructive and valuable sanction available to the sentencing judge, theParole Commission and the probation officer. Community Service allows theoffender to repay the community by providing needed services for thecommunity. Community Service makes it possible for justice to be servedby uniquely benefiting the community while making it unnecessary toimprison all convicted offenders. Community Service benefits society in fivemajor ways:

1) Allows the offender to continue to be employed, paying taxes, whilefree from incarceration.

2) Frees up prison space to be used to house offenders convicted ofmore serious crimes.

3) Gives the offender some sense of belonging to t heir community byhaving paid the community back for their crime.

4) Benefits the community by getting work done that otherwise maynever have been accomplished.

Page 16: State of North Carolina Department of Correction Division ... · of supervision are established by the courts or the North Carolina Post Release Supervision Commission. Officers refer

14

5) It is more cost effective than prison. It costs approximately $t29ldayto monitor an offender sentenced to perform community service work,compared to an average of $57.92 for an offender sent to prison.

Community Service hours are monitored by Community ServiceCoordinators, who also maintain contact with recipient agencies where thework is performed, and develop new agencies for future placement.

All offenders sentenced to perform community service are required to work aspecific number of hours, and pay a $200.00 Community Service Fee to payfor liability insurance and other administrative costs. Community Serviceworkers are placed at various types of agencies such as parks, schools,senior centers, libraries, animal shelters, hospitals and fire departments

Services generally include the foflowing:

> Grounds maintenance > General labor> Clerical work > Human services~ Custodial and building maintenance > Public contacts services

District 10 has eight Community Service Coordinators assigned to monitorthe offenders ordered to perform Community Service in Wake County. As ofJune 30, 2004 they had a combined caseload of 1,580 offenders. During thispast fiscal year, there were 3,406 new admissions to this program in WakeCounty. The offenders performed 143,276 hours ofcommunity service, with a dollar value of nearly onemillion dollars ($1,000,000).

Offender Management Model — 0MM

The Division of Community Correction, Criminal Justice PartnershipProgram (CJPP), and the Treatment Alternatives to Street Crimes (TASC),continued their collaborative relationship in the management of offendersduring the year. The District model is based on a philosophy of managingthe offender through a cooperative, team approach. The model recognizesthat no one agency of the criminal justice or treatment community can besuccessful alone and that multiple aspects of the offender’s lives must beaddressed to provide optimum avenues for success. TASC does clinicalassessments, reviewing the criminogenic needs and substance abuse of theoffender, and then provides assistance to match these needs to theappropriate treatment levels. The District’s officer-lead teams develops anindividualized case plan for the offender which is revised and updatedthroughout the period of supervision with input from the agencies mentionedabove as well as the offender. The purpose of the Offender ManagementModel is to create a seamless system built on the ideals of integrated servicedelivery and coordination of resources that provide effective interventionsfor offenders~

Special Initiatives

Sex Offender Control Program

The Division of Community Corrections began the implementation of thisprogram in 1997, and District 10 has been involved for the past three years.DCC is focused and dedicated toward an integrated approach, coordinatingmonitoring, supervision and the treatment of sex offenders. Our programprovides pressure through the use of sanctions to ensure the offendercomplies with court and/or post-release mandated supervision conditions.Through treatment and behavior modification, sex offenders are taught toachieve personal control of their inappropriate impulses, feelings andbehaviors. Our Sex Offender Specialty Officers have received specialtraining in the area of sex offenders, and are able to provide close

17

supervisionto their caseloads of thirty sex offenders. In addition to thespecialized training and smaller caseloads, other importantaspectsof theprogram are regular face-to-face contacts, unannounced home visits, homeand vehicle search of the offenders, restriction of offender movement, rapidresponse to violation behavior, close coordination with treatment andcriminal justice agencies, and regular staffing with service professionalsinvolved with the offenders. Presently, the Wake County Sex OffenderSpecialty Officers are Mike Rakouskas, Audrey Barnett, Jeff Lux, CindyDukes,and John Riddick.

School Partnerships

District 10 continued a collaborative relationship with schools during theyear, with officers working with designated high schools and a caseload ofschool age offenders. The officers provide enhanced supervision bymaintaining direct relationships with teachers, school resource officers,guidance counselors, and administrators. The team concept is utilized witha goal of keeping the young offenders in a mainstream school environmentwhile providing for the safety and security of the other school students. Inprevious years, we utilized five Community level officers that weredesignated to work with and in the twenty one Wake County High Schools,including the special schools at Mary Phillips, Longview, Mt. Vernon, RichardMilburn, and the John Baker Charter School in the Wake County PublicSafety Center. In an effort to be more consistent in our interaction with thestudentsand schools, we recently made a change that assigned each highschool student to PPO I Rita Dimoulas who works out of one of our SpecialOperations units.

The mission of the Wake DrugTreatment Court is to stop drugabuse and related criminalactivity. The program offers ahighly structured alternative toindividuals whose criminalbehavior stems from drug use.

This program enhances the Court’s ability to monitor the treatment ofsubstance abusing offenders while holding them increasingly accountablefor their behavior and legal compliance. To successfully complete thisprogram, an individual mustabideby strict guidelines and graduate throughphases of treatment. Just as importantto thesuccess of this program is theeverydaycollaboration of theDrug Court Teamcomprised of casemanagers,various treatment providers, Drug Court Judge James R. Fuliwood, and DrugTreatment Court Officer Pam Fishel who is assignedto work with theseindividuals. Her dedication to the success of this program is demonstratedby the extra hours she works in order to be present at evening treatmentsessions, administeringbothdrug testsandencouragement.

Domestic Violence Initiative

As she has done in previous years, Wake Count Chief District Court JudgeJoyce Hamilton has placed an emphasis on dealing with the domesticviolence offender. In conjunction with her efforts, Wake County hasdesignated seven Probation Officer I positions (Amanda Pence, BelindaCockman, Jewel Herring, Darian Chamblee, Jeff Sipes, Deborah Wells, RitaDimoulas) and one Probation Officer II position (Bertrille Williams) to workspecifically with offenders convicted of domestic violence crimes, andsubsequently placed on supervised probation. By supervising smallercaseloads, attending domestic violence seminars and conferences, andparticipating in domestic violence training,we believe these officers will beable to meet the following objectives:

1) Provide close supervision and control of domestic violence offenders2) Enhance the safety of domestic violence victims3) Ensure that the batterer completes treatment4) Coordinates the efforts of the Courts, Law enforcement, treatment

agencies and victim advocates

Electronic House Arrest Officers

Wake County utilizes three specialized Electronic House ArrestOfficer positions in order to make the use of this sanction moreeffective for us, and more appealing to the Court. Theseofficers, (Jo Hight, Jeri Douglas, Dawn Dye) have reducedcaseloads, allowing them to devote more time and attention tothe offenders placed on Electronic House Arrest. They benefitfrom the support they receive from other officers that are oncall to respond to possible violations between the hours of 5:00PM and 7:00 AM Monday through Friday, plus the full twenty

19

four hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. During the past year, thenumber of offenders being supervised weekly in Wake County averaged inthe low seventies.

Community Policing

Division of Community Correction officers maintain close relationships withlocal law enforcement organizations. Information is shared betweenagencies on a daily basis. DCC staff may call upon local law enforcementofficers for assistance when serving an arrest warrant or conducting asearch of an offender’s residence for drugs, weapons or other prohibitedcontraband. Likewise, local law enforcement routinely request assistancefrom DCC with gathering information concerning particular individuals orcertain crimes being committed in Wake County. On occasions throughoutthe year, selected DCC officers work side by side with officers from severallocal law enforcement agencies, assisting with DWI and traffic checkpointstops. The purpose of our involvement is to locate probation/paroleabsconders (offenders avoiding supervision), and offenders in violation oftheir curfews. It also greatly increases the amount of data available to lawenforcement officials as DCC pulls information from our offender databaseduring the stops.

Project Safe Neighborhoods

This is a comprehensive, strategic approach toreducing gun violence in America. It isdesigned to promote heightened coordinationamong federal,state and local

agencies. During the past year, under theguidance of Assistant United States AttorneyJane Jackson, Wake County has continued sucha partnership. Those involved have been theUnited States Attorney’s office, Wake CountyDistrict Attorney~soffice, ATF, FBI, DEA, RaleighPolice Department, Wake County Sheriff’sDepartment, North Carolina State HighwayPatrol, North Carolina SBI, various county lawenforcement agencies, and Wake CountyProbation. In addition, others involved with thisinitiative are community leaders from the faithcommunity, schools, businesses, socialservices, and health care.

Wake County Probation was involved in twoseparate projects during the past year. In thefirst, our staff identified twenty -five repeat, violent offenders within WakeCounty for a Project TRAC Notification and Assistance Call In on August 19,2003. This required a coordinated effort between all members of thepartnership, and Wake County Probation Officers delivered the designatedoffenders to meet the members of the Wake County partnership at a pre-determined location. The offenders were addressed by Courtrepresentatives, law enforcement representatives, and communityrepresentatives. They personally received the message that Wake Countywill not tolerate violence and they are being watched by this partnership, butalso that assistance is available if they want to change the course of theirlives.

The second project, the Wake County WarrantEnforcement initiative, was a three day exercisethat began early Monday morning May 17, 2004and concluded at 12:00 noon on Wednesday May19, 2004. Under the leadership of the United StatesMarshals Service, nine federal state and localagencies worked together to execute outstandingwarrants in Wake County. Other participating

agencies included the U.S. Bureau ofImmigration and Custom Enforcement, theWake County Sheriff’s Office, the Apex Policedepartment, the Garner Police Department,the Cary Police Department, ATF, the RaleighPolice department, and Wake CountyProbation Officers. Much of the intelligenceinformation for this project was provided byMaggie Farmer through the Division ofCommunity Corrections’ offender data base,and it proved to be an invaluable resource aseighty-eight arrests were made for variousoffenses including drugs, assault with adeadly weapon, illegal possession of afirearm, aggravated assault, and probationviolations.

Going Home Initiative

This initiative is a plan to pair offenders leaving prison with resources andmentors to help in the successful transition from institutional living to livingin the “real” world permanently. For it to be successful, close collaborationbetween prison officials, offenders, community resources, and communityvolunteers is essential. The goal of GHI is to coordinate state and localagencies, community based organizations, and various service providers tosystematically transition the offender back into society. Wake County hasbeen developing this partnership team during the past year and a half, andhas initiated this program. Wake County had their initial GHI offenderreleased to post release supervision on May 13, 2004, followed by anotherlater that same month. Prior to their release, a GHI case plan and transitionreentry support form was completed by a transition team. The forms are thebasis for providing support and guidance to the offenders. Upon theirrelease, Intermediate Officer Heather Clark assumed the role of casemanager for these offenders with the assistance of Surveillance Officer DanaLassiter. Members of our team include representatives from Wake CountyCommunity Corrections, Wake County Department of Public Safety, theTransition Aftercare Network (TAN), Capital Area Workforce Development

The immediate goals of this program are:

1) Ensure public safety by reducing recidivism through successfulcommunity reintegration

2) To create a sustainable transition and reentryprocess that ensurescoordinated services and supervision for offenders released fromprison

3) To establish a networkof government agencies, community and faithbased organizations, businesses and citizens committed tosuccessful offender transition and reentry

Emergency Management

Following the devastation inflicted by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, the Divisionof Community Corrections implemented emergency management policiesand procedures. They further developed a roster of responder teams,developed immediate response modes of action, and established on-goingtraining for these teams. In conjunction with this and the National HomelandSecurity, Wake County Probation Officers have developed a HomelandSecurityTeam who are ready to assist local, state, and federal agencieswhen requested to do so by StateEmergency Management.

In September of 2003, Eastern North Carolina suffered severely at the handsof Hurricane Isabel. Responding to the call for assistance, twenty-three WakeCounty Probation Officers volunteered to be deployed to Chowan and Tyrrellcounties, where they spent four to five days assisting with security and rellefefforts. Special acknowledgements of appreciation go out to Cindy Dukes,Dana Lassiter, Jo Hight, Dawn Dye, Karl Wailer, Darian Chamblee, AudreyRichardson, Deborah Haley, Clyde Alston, Cassandra Burton, Pam Grissom,Jeremy Mittag, John Riddick, Sterling Smith, Pam Fishel, Allison Jourdan,Thomas Clifton, Donald Barbour, Jamal Brown, Heather Clark, RobertNichols, Loretta Wright, and Mark Beard. In addition to the services providedby these officers, Tony Taylor and Maggie Farmer spent countless hoursassisting with the “command center” operations in Raleigh, white Probation

Urban SupervisionPlan

District 10 has developed and is utilizing this new strategy that allows us tomore effectively supervise our offender population with fewer resources.Under this plan, we have expanded on the concept of teamwork, which wealready heavily rely upon. We have developed two Judicial Services Units,designed to w ork primarily along side other components of the Judiciarysystem during the sentencing phases. Our focus is on providing insight tothe Courts on the best possible supervision alternatives CommunityCorrections can offer. In addition, we have developed three SpecialOperations Units, which have allowed us to concentrate on specializedcaseloads such as Electronic House Arrest, Day Reportrng Center, DomesticViolence, and Sex Offender Control Program. The officers supervising thesecaseloads a re m ore experienced, a nd receive o ifender s pecific t raining i ntheir particular area of specialization. We feel strongly that this specializationmaximizes the effectiveness of the officers supervising these specialtycaseloads. In addition, it also provides the district with important liaisons toother judiciary sections, treatment providers, and the citizens of WakeCounty.

DNA Testing

Effective December 1, 2003, there was a General Statute revision enactedconcerning DNA testing. General Statute 15A-266.4 was amended so that thenew requirement was that on/after December 1, 2003 all persons convicted ofall felonies, assaults on handicapped persons, and stalking would have aDNA sample drawn. Offenders that are not sentenced to confinement arerequired to provide a sample to the Sheriff of the sentencing county. Underthe leadership of Chief Probation/Parole Officer Clyde Alston andIntermediate Officer Pam Grissom, there has been an ongoing coordinatedeffort between the Wake County Community Corrections’ staff and the WakeCounty Jail to ensure that offenders under our supervision meet thestatutory requirements.

I know the officers and staff of District 10 have done, and will continue to do,an outstandingjob in handling the awesome challenges and responsibilitiesassociated with the supervision of more than 7,000 offenderS~They areexpected to be true professionals, while attempting to guide individuals thatare at times unwilling to accept their assistance~ Weask them to stretch theirresources to the limit in order to assist these offenders, while viewing theissue of public safety as being equally important.

The career choice many of District 10’s employees have made to serve thecitizens of Wake County as officers with the Division of CommunityCorrections comes with both frustrations and rewards~ Every day maypresent new challenges, but this only serves to motivate us to work evenharder to achieve our goals.

District 10 works hard to be as visible aspossible in all the communities inWake County. Wehave developed community parking locations designed toallow our Intermediate, Intensive, and Surveillance Officers to park theirassigned state vehicles as close to their residences as possible, allowing forquicker responses when necessary. Wehave divided our field units intothree zones throughout the county. This has allowed our officers to developbefter community and law enforcement relationships by working indesignated sections of the county. With Wake County covering nearly 900square miles with a population exceeding 700,000 citizens, this also helpspromote efficiency.
