Regular Full-Time Community Supervision
Officers (CSOs): Include only full-time community supervision
officers who spend at least 50% of their time on supervision or
supervision-related duties supervising one or more direct offenders on regular caseloads.
Include
any CSO funded through the caseload reduction grants under regular full-time
CSO, even if you have established a specialized caseload through this grant,
such as a High and Medium Risk Caseloads (HMRC). This will enable us to
calculate the impact of the caseload reduction funding on regular direct
caseloads. Include any offenders supervised by a CSO funded through a caseload
reduction grant under regular offenders under supervision.
Part-Time CSO: Include CSOs who supervise one or more direct cases
and works less than 40 hours per week.
Specialized
CSO: Include only full-time community
supervision officers who spend at least 50% of their time on supervision or
supervision-related duties supervising one or more direct offenders on specialized
caseloads.
Specialized Caseload: For
purposes of this study, specialized caseloads include caseloads that are
dedicated to serving a population with identified needs and which meet one of
the following conditions:
1) The
caseload is funded by CJAD and subject to special grant conditions.
2) The
caseload has been created by the CSCD and the CSCD has developed specific
policies limiting the size of the caseload to focus time and resources on the
offenders’ needs. Caseloads that do not
have a caseload size restriction should be counted as regular caseloads.
Do not include as a Specialized caseload any caseload funded
by the caseload reduction grants.
Other
CSO: Include CSOs who supervise at
least one direct offender and spend more than 50% of their time on supervisory
or administrative tasks under ‘Other.’ Include any CSO supervising at least one
direct offender but does not fit the definition of a regular, specialized, or part-time
CSO.
COMPLETING THE REPORT
Number of CSOs: Enter the number of community supervision officers, supervising at least one direct offender, in the appropriate column, as defined above.
Offenders Under Supervision: In the appropriate boxes under each CSO type, enter the number of direct and pretrial felons and misdemeanants supervised by the CSOs included in ‘Number of CSOs’ for that column.
Direct and pretrial offenders supervised by regular full-time officer need to be counted in the appropriate box in the ‘Regular Full-Time CSO’ column.
Direct and pretrial offenders supervised by part-time officers need to be counted in the appropriate box in the ‘Part-Time CSO’ column.
Direct and pretrial offenders supervised by specialized officers should be counted in the appropriate box in the ‘Specialized CSO’ column.
Direct and pretrial offenders supervised by officers who spend more than 50% of their time on supervisory or administrative tasks or who do not meet the definition of regular, specialized, or part-time CSO should be counted in the appropriate box in the ‘Other CSO’ column.
REMINDERS
The total of ‘Regular Full-Time CSO’, ‘Specialized CSO’, ‘Part-Time CSO’ and ‘Other CSO’ must equal the total number of employed CSOs reported in Section I.A. on the August 2021 Monthly Community Supervision Staff Report.
If the number of CSOs is greater than zero in any column, the number of offenders in that same column must also be greater than zero.
If number of offenders included in a column is greater than zero, the number of CSOs counted in that column must also be greater than zero.
