It is my pleasure to present
the Georgia Department of
Community Supervision’s 2019
Annual Report.
Commissioner Nail
FOUNDED
In 2015 when HB 310
was introduced
WE STRIVE FOR
A holistic approach to
offender supervision
that involves all facets
of the community
Since inception, we have prided
ourselves on being an agency
of innovation. Whether it be our
internationally recognized use
of technology, our commitment
to exploring and implementing
evidence-based practices, or
our focus on creating additional
efficiencies through the evaluation
of our operations, DCS remains
committed to advancing our
mission and protecting Georgia
citizens.
In the past Fiscal Year, we
have
introduced
additional
enhancements
to
further
automate our case management
system in order to assist officers
with
important
supervision
notifications. We also explored
potential avenues to address
the vital issue of officer safety
and what we can do to ensure
our officers are protected while
performing their duties. Other
notable changes in FY19 included
a departmental reorganization.
Utilizing recommendations from
operational evaluation studies,
DCS realigned several divisions to
streamline our operations which
better positioned us to serve our
communities.
Looking ahead, we will continue
to operate with an eye towards
efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
research-driven decision making.
Lastly, I would like to recognize
our employees. Without a doubt,
they are our greatest asset. It is
the collective contributions of
these dedicated and hardworking
professionals that enable DCS to
pursue innovative practices that
elevate our agency to new heights.
