Developing an Effective Case Plan for Individuals on Community Supervision
Hours: 1.75
Many community corrections agencies are moving away from a compliance-focused supervision strategy (e.g., did the supervisee fulfill the conditions of supervision) to a more targeted supervision strategy. In a targeted supervision strategy, the focus is on helping individuals create long-term change. Ultimately, this helps promote long-term public safety, as opposed to short-term public safety and compliance with court-ordered conditions. To promote behavioral change of individuals on community release, you cannot approach the supervision of each individual from a one-size fits all approach. Targeted interventions must be driven by an individual's unique risk, needs, and responsivity factors. Utilizing a risk and needs assessment instrument is essential to identify factors that an officer can address with a supervisee using a case plan. This course will provide community supervision officers working in adult probation and parole agencies with instruction on how to develop an initial individualized case plan (sometimes referred to as supervision plans) with a supervisee when they are first placed on supervision.
