Commissioner ' s Greetings
Commissioner Nail
It is always an honor to present the annual report as it highlights and brings due consideration of the Department of Community Supervision ’ s latest year of operation . I could not be more proud of the hardworking men and women who continually lend their efforts to make a difference and I remain humbled by the lives our work has positively impacted .
Like many organizations across the globe , numerous operational enhancements we intended to pursue were designed to mitigate the impacts caused by the global public health emergency . However , our commitment to effectuate positive change in the lives of those we supervise , their families , and communities across Georgia enabled DCS to face many Covid-related disruptions with a great level of operational preparedness .
If the Georgia Department of Community Supervision has been recognized for anything , it is a commitment to leveraging innovative technology in conjunction with the latest research to effectuate positive change in the lives of individuals under supervision , their families , and communities across Georgia . Representatives from 14 states and countries across the globe as far away as Australia and Japan have either visited or worked with the Department to better understand our person-centered supervision model . This global recognition of this status is why DCS has been asked to present at numerous national and international conferences . More important than the recognition , these advancements that are noted in this report enabled us to deliver much-needed services and programming to some of our most vulnerable populations .
Enhancing our new supervision philosophy , successfully implementing employee wellness and engagement initiatives , and launching real-time data dashboards were significant accomplishments that pushed the DCS team forward this year . We recognize that this was not accomplished in the short term , or in a silo . Instead , we will continue to work with those who partner in our mission and vision .
In closing , please know that this report is all about the amazing men and women who comprise our team . Without a doubt , their dedication to public service is what makes it all possible .
