BY THE NUMBERS
DCS is committed to tracking performance metrics and data about our work and using this information to
gauge our effectiveness and find opportunities to improve.
In 2016, we began creating and implementing a data system to collect information. This data system combines
tracking capabilities for information previously handled by three separate agencies and is designed to better
reflect the mission of DCS. Once in full operation, the system will provide DCS with the ability to comprehensively
and accurately track data for felony offenders, DCS programs and initiatives, and services provided by DCS and
partner agencies. Metrics will include successful completions, time to fail, treatment program participation, and
employment.
In addition, DCS monitors internal measures of departmental performance to continuously assess and improve
operational efficiency and effectiveness.
