Region 3 TASC Services � 516 North Trade Street, Winston - Salem, NC 27101 336 - 71470991336. 7147088 fax 1 -866. 567 -TASC mgray nctasc.org Fiscal Year 2010 -2011 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT 19A OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS, TREATMENT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Appendices are entered by and between the Judicial District 19A of Department of Community Corrections, Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities and the Criminal Justice Partnership Program for the purpose of developing a comprehensive offender management model that ensures public safety while addressing the needs of offenders. Currently, the Division of Community Corrections (DCC), the Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) and the Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC) Network are the primary resources involved in community corrections. The purpose of a comprehensive offender management model is to create a seamless system built on the ideals of integrated service delivery and coordination of resources that provide effective interventions for offenders. With DCC, CJPP and TASC available under the community corrections umbrella and a structured link for transitioning offenders, the Offender Management Model (OMM), as described in the Appendices, presents a systemic model for screening and assessing offenders, thatching them to the appropriate intervention(s) and managing their case plans. Utilizing the principles of effective interventions, we can reasonably assert that the ONINI will be successful in modifying offender behavior. The objectives of the OMM are: • To create a seamless system of care for the provision of services to offenders; • To clarify roles in providing control and treatment; • To reduce the rate of revocation for technical and drug violations; • To combine efforts to guarantee the effective utilization of limited resources and prevent duplication; • To provide cognitive behavioral interventions; • To develop an integrated information system; and • To ensure Probation, CJPP, and TASC staffs are trained to implement the OMM. The target population for the OMM is primarily Intermediate Punishment offenders. However, Community Punishment Level I violators, residential community corrections graduates and post - releasees who have completed a treatment program, will also be eligible for this model. Offenders meeting the eligibility criteria will be screened and assessed using standardized instruments that focus on criminogenic need, substance abuse and ancillary needs (such as housing, educational achievement, and employment skills). Through the assessment process, the offender's needs will be identified and prioritized in the case plan for service delivery. Attachment number 5 F -4 Page 89
