The D.C. Pretrial Services Agency’s 2008 to 2013 Strategic Plan updates the second strategic plan and provides a blueprint for how our agency will operate in the coming years. Over the next five years, the D.C. Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) will build on its current successes by continuing to refine and expand supervision and substance abuse treatment services for high risk defendants. A special focus will be the expansion of partnership activities. PSA currently participates in a number of collaborative multi-agency programs. D.C.’s East of the River Community Court is but one example. In order to better serve both defendants and the other agencies in the criminal justice system, PSA will systematically strengthen its partnerships and collaborative programs. Another key aspect of this plan is expansion of services for substance abusing and mentally ill populations. All too often, these defendants cycle through the system without receiving the attention that their problems require. While PSA has developed in-house substance abuse treatment resources and utilizes contract-funded treatment vendors, PSA’s efforts over the next five years will focus on how to maximize existing resources for the drug-involved population. |
