Once the assessment is complete, the individual case planning process will begin. Probation Officers, TASC Care Managers and CJPP staff will develop a unified case plan for the offender. This team - initiated, unified case plan supports a seamless system and further reinforces collaboration and coordination into a process of practical application. An offender's case plan will include the elements of treatment and control necessary to ensure compliance in both areas. Cognitive behavioral interventions will be used widely in this model to assist with skill building and cognitive restructuring. Research demonstrates that targeting antisocial attitudes, values and beliefs using cognitive behavioral interventions result in reductions in recidivism. In addition, the model will monitor and track numerous shared outcomes. The criminal justice and public healthcare systems must embrace stated goals of reducing recidivism and controlling criminal behavior to sustain the OMM's focus on outcomes. The common emphasis on reducing recidivism brings the two systems to alignment, and requires each to rethink operations and priorities based on shared goals. Furthermore, the team approach helps to maximize resources and make reallocation decisions apparent. Each entity will assist in monitoring the offender's progress through regularly scheduled case staffings. DCC, TASC and CJPP staff will exchange information and make referrals regarding sanctions, treatment and service needs to existing community -based service providers. Each entity will need to operationalize the Offender Management Model to their unique set of offender needs and resources. Specifically, an MOU governing the implementation of the model at the local level must be developed and negotiated, then signed by the appropriate authorized representatives. This MOU and Appendices will remain in effect until renegotiated by authorized representatives from the participating agencies. This MOU and Appendices shall be reviewed as necessary, not less than every two (2) years. This MOU and Appendices may be amended, as mutually agreed upon to change the scope and terms. Such changes shall be incorporated as a written amendment to this MOU and Appendices. Judicial 19A District iWanager VP Region 3 TASC Services Catherine Combs, District Manager date J i hael E.
