s Apart from the core elements of the criminal justice system itself (Sheriff and Police, Courts, Probation, Corrections, Prosecution, and Defense) which will be subject of the Task 2.2 Operational Analysis, the current organizational conditions, capacity and capabilities of each program will be inventoried with historic trend operating and financial data. The general target populations of each program;their overall supervision and/or rehabilitative/treatment objectives; and performance record will be profiled for a minimum five-year period as available.The impact of legislation and case law will be reviewed during this period of the study both in terms of results and potential for change. This element of the study will clearly describe the effect each component has on the management of the criminal justice system and how the activities and interaction affect or impact other components. Subtask 2.3 Identify Coordination Opportunities As a part of the initial analysis, a technology review will be made to define the basic computer- based coordination programs that are currently in effect. Since an earlier subtask will have produced a "model' of the adult system flow, the analysis of existing methods and policies for coordination will be easily identified. Interviews will be conducted and policies reviewed to define the current coordination practices. After developing an understanding of the existing methods for coordination and information- sharing, the Consultant will identify a range of options for greater information sharing that should be considered. Subtask 2.4 Recommend Improvement Options for Coordination The Consultant will use existing reports and records, which describe and profile data on existing programs throughout the County. This procedure will accurately identify all types of community- based, institution-based, and private provider programs and services available as well as gaps, which may exist in the continuum of services, needed to meet the projected demand. Aspects to be reviewed include: Availability of intensive supervision, community service work, work release, short-term incarceration, intermittent sentencing, boot camps, victim restitution, violators day reporting centers, restitution centers, DUI facilities/programs, electronic& voice monitoring/house arrest, and residential facilities; ♦ Perceived gaps within the model local continuum of justice services; ♦ Consolidation/coordination/centralization potentials for field services in relation to community corrections (organizational options); ♦ Use and acceptance of contracting for corrections (community-based & institutions); ♦ Areas where technical assistance may be required to enhance and/or expand local programs; and ♦ Areas where advocacy and education may be required to gain support for the expansion of community programs. After the results are analyzed,the study team will conduct a focus group workshop in order to help
