Key Performance Indicators —
When assessing the effectiveness of community supervision agencies , evaluators tend to limit their focus to a few failure metrics , such as rearrests and incarcerations . At DCS , however , we focus on performance measures that reflect our commitment to promoting success among the individuals we supervise .
The DCS Performance Measurement System consists of eight Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) for evaluating the overall success of our Person-Centered Supervision ( PCS ) model . PCS entails recognizing people as unique individuals with their own strengths , needs , and goals . Additionally , PCS leverages research and technology to prioritize activities that promote success among probationers and parolees , such as addressing needs and tailoring services . Therefore , our KPIs show progress in the areas of primary focus for DCS employees : ( 1 ) Employment / Education ( 2 ) Addiction ( 3 ) Homelessness ( 4 ) Mental Health ( 5 ) Restitution ( 6 ) Supervision Technique ( 7 ) Community Supervision and ( 8 ) Interaction Frequency .
