not been before. supervisor cohen: i have a couple questions. i was actually hopeful -- [no audio] --use a compass as a technology tools to help with the success rate of the inmates that are going to be coming. >> certainly adult probation has. we are in the instance stages, if you will. we have implemented the compass- based pre sentence report. that started in june, so the courts are now receiving pre sentence recommendations that are based on best practices and the assessment contained in the

compass. the conversations with the sheriff's department, i know they are interested in examining that for their in-custody work, and the california department of corrections and rehabilitation has used a compass, so some of that information is available to us on inmates who are being released to post-release community supervision. the other thing is that our discussion with a number of partners, whether it be department of public health, human services agency, the various community providers and service providers, we are sharing that assessment information and identification of criminogenic needs. supervisor cohen: criminogenic? is that a real word? >> it comes up under a spell check under the -- all the time is underling, so i am not sure that it is. it is well established in our

profession, and it identifies those risk factors that are actually changeable. for example, substance abuse behavior, familial relationships, anti-social values and attitudes. interventions can be applied, working with offenders so they can change their attitudes, change the way they think, change their attitude toward substance embryos, improved family relationships, and therefore not reoffend. there is a concerted effort to work with our service providers and partners in doing more collaborative and court in any case management, focusing on those needs and risk factors that are identified through compass -- coordinating with case management. supervisor cohen: thank you. in the review this supposed ordinance, and was wondering if the department of public health was also invited to participate or did they not show up?

supervisor mirkarimi: no, they have been part of the whole creation of this. but since the consoles, as it had been convened by both myself and the mayor and the key partners involved in getting ready for assembly bill 109 realignment has been sure of, adult probation, district attorney, public defender, and the department of public health has been involved, too. this is to finally designate, as is required by state law, a department, or co-departments, but in this case, it has been decided that adult probation as the best equipped to deal with the welcoming, receiving of the 650 approximately inmates to come in. but the department of public health has a very integral role in all this, no question about it. and there exactly in tandem with the sheriff's department,

who is also in tandem with adult probation. those are very key departments that are going to be asked to really step up. i will give an example, jail psychiatric services. a psychiatric services in the sheriff's department, that comes from the department of public health, not the sheriff's department. i would not be a surprise that a number of the inmates under coming back, despite the low level criteria of what the felons are, that they will have mental health needs. that will continue to stress or destress existing services provided by psych services. dph plays a strong role in helping build adult probation and helping the sheriff's department. yes, absolutely. supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi:sorry, i

did not mean to give you to match information. >> yes, the department of health has been actively involved. a portion of the state funding is going to dph to provide very important services for these offenders coming up. just to put a point on that, the pre-release packets that were now receiving -- we have about 30 people, 30 packets, 30 individuals we know are coming out in the next month. five of those have been identified as having severe mental health issues. and we're already working very closely with crag murdoch and his staff, so there is a cooperative effort to do an assessment of those individuals before they come out and to identify the type of services and prepare for placement of those individuals before they are released to community supervision.

supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. i greatly appreciate. hello to the chief, yes. any public comment? ok. we have fans. public comment is closed. colleagues, can we take this without -- ok, excellent. madam clerk, move this with a recommendation. thank you. adult probation and others who have been here. is there any other business? >> no, mr. chairman. >> ok, just in time for the rules committee to come on in. we got a lot covered in public safety. thank you, supervisors. everybody have a good day. and thank you, sfgtv, for your ongoing excellence. meeting adjourned.
