Implementation Considerations

Strategy 5: Build resiliency through improvements in work processes

  • Supervision managers equipped with the necessary skills needed to support the officers they supervise increase the effectiveness of treatment efforts
    • Managers support includes motivating as well as being a resource for officers who have questions about how supervision practices can support treatment efforts.
  • We recommend departments emphasize providing officers with the resources that enable them to implement changes within the specific context of their caseload and their department.
    • This includes receiving proper training on the unique needs of their caseload if supervising a special population
  • Departments should consider implementing processes where officers can support each other through regular communication and sharing experiences.

This can allow officers to learn from each other building connectivity and camaraderie.

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

  • The most effective forms of assessment and treatment are provided by expert clinicians in the community. As such, one of the most important tasks for departments is developing a robust network of community resources to supply the treatment needed by their clients.
  • Departments should encourage frequent communication and collaboration between officers and community resources.

This allows officers to be aware of client progress and to structure supervision efforts to supplement treatment efforts.

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

  • All assessment results should be discussed with clients.
    • We recommend this discussion include
      • taking the time to fully explain the results
      • making room for clients to ask clarifying questions
      • allowing clients to express any disagreement.
    • Officers should discuss the treatment interventions that the department suggests as a result of the assessments.

When doing so, the client and officer should collaborate to decide what treatment intervention is the best for the client.
