  10. Containment Model A comprehensive public protection strategy for the control of sex offender parolees requires the systematic implementation of a fully operational Containment Model. This model includes supervision, treatment, polygraph and victim advocacy.

  11. Risk Assessment Dynamic and violence risk assessments must be included as an integral part of parolee supervision and should be conducted on all paroled sex offenders. Current reliance on the Static-99 alone is insufficient to identify the risk of re-offense.

  12. Classification Process • Community Safety Score Worksheet • Static Assessment Score • Internal Risk Score (CSRA) • Dynamic and Violence Risk Scores • Polygraph Results • Mitigating/Aggravating Factors

  13. Tiered Supervision Implement tiered parole supervision, according to the offenders risk to re-offend and danger to the community.

  14. Supervision Categories • Classified based on overall level of risk • Input from several disciplines • Addresses custody cases as well • New releases will be supervised at highest risk level • Ongoing classification in conjunction with • Containment Team Meetings
