Strategy / Strategy Description
Status
M . O . 8 - Decrease the percentage of time officers spend on entering case notes and body camera indexing from 15 % in FY 22 to 10 % by FY 26 . NEW
Strategy 9 - Enhance the current assessment tool .
Through a collaboration with several research partners , DCS is developing an artificial intelligence ( AI ) tool termed IDRACS ( Integrated Dynamic Risk Assessment for Community Supervision ). The IDRACS will assess dynamic risk factors to inform supervision strategies in real-time . To develop the IDRACS , researchers will apply Machine learning ( ML ) techniques to a historical data set of approximately 400,000 supervisees . The project consists of three phases over three years : ( 1 ) Create the data set ; Apply AI techniques to build and test models for identifying differential risk ( 2 ) Conduct two pilot tests -- one to assess the value added by the IDRACS models and one to examine whether supervision practice data , including from bodyworn cameras , will improve risk prediction ( 3 ) Develop an IDRACS dashboard and integrate it into our case management system . We are in the process of completing Phase 2 .
On Target
Strategy 10 - Automate case management activities through technology upgrades and behavior coding .
M . O . 9 ( Same as M . O . 1 ) - Increase the percentage of Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) reaching targets from 33 % in FY 2021 to 67 % by the end of FY 2022 and 100 % by the end of FY 2023 .
This strategy seeks to alleviate the documentation burden on officers by automating mundane tasks . By reducing the time spent entering case notes and indexing body camera footage , CSOs will have more time to focus on KPIs , deliver Person- Centered Supervision , and promote success among supervisees . DCS will automate the case management process over three phases : ( 1 ) Integrate hardware to allow for dock-less uploading of body camera footage . ( 2 ) Utilize software to transcribe conversations from the body camera footage and parse out actionable text . For example , if a CSO talks about a job interview with a supervisee , the case management system will prompt them to follow up on that interview during the next interaction . ( 3 ) Partner with experts at Georgia State University ( GSU ) to automate evaluations of officers ' implementation of personcentered core practices in the video-taped officer-client interactions to advance equity and inclusion in community supervision . This strategy is in the planning phase .
