CSOSA utilizes an information database system (SMART), that employs an automated
risk and needs assessment tool that determines the level of supervision and frequency of
contacts with the supervision officer. Based on the assessment, one of four levels of
supervision is assigned: Intensive, Maximum, Medium and Minimum (see table below.)
The drug testing schedule is based on the supervision level and history of drug testing.
CSS further utilizes an in-house computerized supervision planning instrument (AUTO
Screener), that analyzes information (educational level, employment history, community
support and networking, housing stability, victimization, prior supervision failures,
physical health, leisure time, substance abuse history and drug testing, mental health
history, criminal history and motivation and attitude) and recommends a prescriptive
supervision plan (PSP). Individuals with past violent behaviors and/or high levels of drug
use, are likely placed under a higher level of supervision, as indicated through AUTO
Screener.
Community visits are conducted by the Community Supervision Officer (CSO) and
periodically with law enforcement personnel. CSOSA uses incentives and sanctions to
encourage compliance with conditions of release. A variety of sanctions are used to
address non-compliant behavior, to include daily reporting, community service,
electronic monitoring, jail sanctions, Halfway Back, and the Re-entry Sanctions Center
(RSC). Understanding that relapse is part of recovery, a relapse prevention plan is
developed as part of the individual’s treatment process. Individuals can be referred to
prevention programs, including community self-help groups, such as (NA) Narcotics
Anonymous and (AA) Alcoholics Anonymous. If relapse occurs the CSOSA agent may
refer client for a substance abuse evaluation and recommend more treatment.
