A FAIR AND STANDARD SYSTEM
ACROSS THE STATE.
In our first year, our Board took responsibility for
providing the oversight infrastructure needed to ensure
the integrity of Georgia’s misdemeanor probation
system, including creating uniform standards that
will govern all supervision practices across Georgia,
whether performed by private or governmental
providers. We completed the annual registration of
each of Georgia’s misdemeanor probation providers,
streamlined our audit processes, and established
a misdemeanor probation website to centralize
information for providers, offenders, and DCS.
BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS.
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE.
A website. Social media. Quarterly
magazines and annual reports. We’re
opening doors to start conversations
with those we serve, and with the
public that supports us. We’ve
developed a three-year strategic plan
to further build our communications to
help make us more responsive to our
communities, and to make information
about our work more understandable
and available to the public.
In support of these efforts, our legal
team created an automated workflow
process to respond to open records
requests and legal services requests,
helping make our agency more
transparent.
We’ve also dedicated our agency to
being a strong collaborative partner
to the Criminal Justice Reform Council
and our partner agencies—doing our
part to help build a stronger, better
criminal justice system in Georgia.
