Strategy 1 - Implement a regional training plan for officers that have not completed the Enhanced Supervision Program ( ESP ).
The Enhanced Supervision Program ( ESP ) is a set of communication skills associated with better interactions between officers and supervisees .

Strategy 2 - Deploy ' Court Specialists ' to perform court duties and reassign court officers to field caseloads .
M . O . 2 - Decrease the average caseload size from 109 in FY 2019 to 100 by FY 2022 .
The deployment of Court Specialists allowed officers performing court-only duties to be replaced with non-sworn personnel and subsequently reassigned to a caseload . By improving the officersupervisee ratio , CSOs have more time to implement ESP and other evidence-based practices , such as resource linkage and building strong community ties . With at least one court specialist in every circuit and additional positions added as needed , the current average caseload size is 85 . This strategy is complete .
