DCS officers are equipped with the tools needed to
provide effective and efficient supervision beyond
the desk so they can focus on providing supervision
out in the community. Embedding virtual tools
throughout our operations has allowed us to reduce
operational costs—including allowing us to close
or consolidate 12% of our physical offices since the
agency’s inception, reducing lease costs by more than
$200,000 in FY18— while enabling DCS officers to spend
more time in the communities they serve. These tools
include Docusign, a program that allows us to collect
legally binding electronic documents, thereby reducing
our agency’s reliance on paper documents. In addition
to conserving resources, this also ensures more
efficient document transfers and increased document
security. Meanwhile, our DCS officers use body cameras
to enhance case management, training and officer
skills development.
