Implementation Considerations

Strategy 5: Build resiliency through improvements in work processes

  • Departments should consider reviewing their own policies and procedures to determine what pre-existing policies and practices can potentially serve as barriers to change.
  • Compliance-based practices are often seen as an invaluable aspect of supervision. Because of this, it is important that departments redefine their policies and practices to support any changes which reduce their use.
    • Support should include:
      • educational efforts to ensure staff understand the logic behind the proposed change
      • how the change aligns with the rehabilitative and public safety mission of the department
      • specifics about how the changes will work

Strategy 6: Collaborate with agencies toward a common goal of improving client outcomes and promoting public safety

  • Departments can increase the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions through developing robust relationships with community service providers.
    • Consistent communication between officer and service provider is important in both supporting client success and ensuring client compliance
  • Departments will need to have the capacity to offer rehabilitative services in place of compliance-based practices if their department decides to make such changes.

Strategy 7: Build resiliency by altering client involvement in key decisions

  • Departments should consider involving clients in the decision-making process regarding what compliance-based practices are used in their supervision plan.
    • Research has shown that people are more accepting of the decisions made by law enforcement agents when their voice is heard during the process.
  • Supervision staff can increase client satisfaction of the supervision process by including client’s voices during the decision-making process.
