In FY18, DCS worked to develop an Automated Case Review
module to streamline agency data systems interface with
the process of reviewing supervision cases, which was

DCS utilizes Personalized Responses for Offender Adjustment
and Community Transition (PROACT), a sanctioning matrix,
to guide positive interactions between officers and offenders
by providing our officers with an evidence-based framework
to help form their responses to an offender’s behavior. The
officer has the discretion to tailor sanctions based on the
offender’s actions instead of following an outdated one-size-
fits-all model. PROACT also enables the officer to engage the
individual, focusing on gaining the buy-in of the offender in the
decisions and processes necessary to create successful, long-
term outcomes in their lives.
