BY THE NUMBERS
Since 2016, DCS has worked to implement a data system to collect information about our operational effectiveness.
This data system combines tracking capabilities for information previously handled by three separate agencies and is
designed to better reflect the mission of DCS. Although some metrics require a full year or more of data collection to be
of usable quality, we are pleased to share the metrics that are available from our agency’s first complete year of data
collection.
Moving forward, DCS will have the ability to comprehensively and accurately track data for felony offenders, DCS
programs and initiatives, and services provided by DCS and partner agencies. Future reports will include detailed
metrics regarding 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.
