  4. We can’t do it alone, nor is it realistic to believe we can. We just don’t have the manpower or the resources to effectively manage this diverse population of offenders without collaborating with other stakeholders.

  5. We have to join forces with those who have an investment in public safety and ending sexual violence. This collaboration can and should include: • Other law enforcement agencies (including municipal, county, state and federal) • Victims and Victim Advocates • NGO’s • Probation, Parole and Community Corrections Officers • Treatment Providers (Sexual deviancy and substance abuse) • Corrections personnel (Pre-release and post-release) • The Community • Industry
