Case Classification And Workload Measures System

(Since January, 1995)

PURPOSE OF PROGRAM: Beginning January 1st, 1995, the Indiana Judicial Center made it mandatory for all Probation departments to have in place a Probation Case Classification and Workload Measure System. The purpose of this Case Management System is to accurately and appropriately supervise Probationers that have a risk to re-offend. It also serves as a basis for the measurement of Probation Officers workload. This System prioritizes Probationers of that Probation Department can hold the group with a risk to re-offend more accountable then those with a lower risk to offend.

This also helps Probation Departments determine how many Probation Officers are needed. This can be accomplished by determining how many HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW risk Probationers are supervised by a department, and the work necessary to supervise each one based on the mandatory Indiana Workload Standards.

TARGETED OFFENDER POPULATION: Every Formal Probationer under supervision. This includes all Interstate and Intrastate transfer cases.
