Georgia Department of Community Supervision
This year, DCS
implemented a new Court
Specialist position in nine
circuits throughout the
state. In this position,
non-sworn support
staff focus on court-
related tasks, including
building effective long-
term relationships
with the courts, and
improving work flow
and communication
between our agency
and our criminal justice
partners. This provides a
new avenue for support
staff to use their valuable
expertise. Meanwhile,
having dedicated Court
Specialists in their offices
enables certified officers
to focus more fully on
the core of their work:
supervision.
