Introduction:

In the fall of 2007, dialogue began within the Adams County Court of Common Pleas in regards to the pressure being placed on the criminal justice system as a result of a growing population in the county. Part of the strain being felt was due to the increased demands for services by the public in a time where resources were becoming more and more limited. The desire to provide efficient criminal justice services was conflicting with the ability to effectively organize and fund such initiatives.

It became apparent, that in order to provide the dignified, respectful and efficient services desired, that a forum would need to exist where stakeholders in the local criminal justice system could effectively discuss and organize initiatives. Therefore, the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board was formed in the fall of 2007 by public officials as the forum that could effectively address the issues facing the criminal justice system locally while responsibly addressing the needs of the Adams County citizenry.

With the assistance of the Davison Group, Inc., in Mechanicsburg, PA, the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) started a very detailed self-examination of priority issues and goals within the criminal justice system in Adams County. The overall result was the creation of the first CJAB Strategic Plan in 2009. Since that time an annual review has been conducted by the CJAB and the priority issues have been updated and new initiatives have been started and successfully completed.

have been updated and new initiatives have been started and successfully completed.

Because of the efforts of many of the CJAB stakeholders who have made up the CJAB over the years, the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board has achieved a statewide reputation for professionalism, efficiency, and innovation within Pennsylvania. This reputation was earned by taking seriously the need to periodically assess the local criminal justice system's performance and to identify new and innovative ways of more effectively delivering quality services as efficiently as possible. In 2015, the CJAB was awarded with its highest honor by being recognized by the County Commissioner Association and the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency with the "PA's Best Practices Award".

Progress continues to be made within the CJAB going into 2017. Participation by voting members, associate members and community representatives remains strong and efforts have been made to increase the local participation levels over the years; especially among the law enforcement and educational communities. The Adams County CJAB will continue to strive towards providing dignified, respectful and efficient services to the people of Adams County, as well as providing a responsible and effective criminal justice system locally. One primary way of succeeding in this goal is to adhere to the principle established in the CJAB's Vision and Mission statement adopted in 2010.

The vision, mission, and core principle values of the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board that were established during this process are as follows:

CJAB Mission Statement, Purpose and Board Structure:

In November of 2007, the Criminal Justice Advisory Board adopted a mission statement to reflect the importance of how to address criminal justice issues within the County. In 2010 the mission was updated to reflect a more current view of the work within the CJAB. The CJAB has continued to pursue identified matters as part of its overall strategic plan to take an all-inclusive, structured and proactive approach to identifying criminal justice issues in Adams County.

The mission statement of the Board is:

The mission of the Criminal Justice Advisory Board is to improve the quality of life within Adams County by supporting the local criminal justice system through an ongoing forum for collaboration among key decision-makers.

The purpose of the Board is:

The purpose of the board is to evaluate, analyze, plan, and integrate information, as well as to identify, access and sustain sources of funding. This will allow the board to recommend actions to ensure the delivery of dignified, efficient, respectful and sustainable service to the Adams County community.

The ongoing goal of the Adams County CJAB is:

To create and coordinate opportunities, methods and processes within Adams County to improve its criminal justice system and lead to more dignified, efficient, respectful and sustainable service to the community.

One primary purpose of the Board is to achieve consensus on methods to create efficiencies and improve the effectiveness regarding the administration of criminal justice in Adams County. Based on this goal, the CJAB has established the following procedures:

Bring together key decision makers on a bi-monthly basis to openly discuss issues that affect the justice system.

Identify problems and issues, and proactively address those issues through planning and coordination.

Review programming and policies, avoid duplicate spending of criminal justice agencies, improve programming, and initiate innovative programs and policies through working group processes.

Facilitate the administration of justice and the provision of services and programs through the Criminal Justice Advisory Board Office.

Board Structure and Membership

In 2007, the CJAB underwent a formal organization of structure and membership to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board towards meeting its objectives. The Bylaws identified 17 voting members of the CJAB and this organization assisted in improving the following:

Creating a more productive meeting schedule

Downsizing membership to accurately reflect key decision makers and increase board membership attendance

◆ Increase sub-committee structures and membership opportunities

◆ Changing the by-laws for CJAB and CJAB office operating purposes

The CJAB office staff consists of a CJAB Coordinator who serves as an ex-officio member of the CJAB. Other members are selected based on their position in the criminal justice system, county government and dedication to the criminal justice system from within the local community. Listed in the table in “APPENDIX B” is the full listing of the current voting membership (see page 14; APPENDIX B).

The CJAB also consists of several associate members who have been identified because of their background, experience and/or interest in criminal justice matters in the County. These members fully participate in the planning and discussion stages of CJAB ventures and share their thoughts and ideas with the Board. However, these individuals hold no voting authority on the Board.

Review of CJAB Priorities from 2015-16 Strategic Plan and Current Concerns:

Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

There are many different frameworks and methodologies for strategic planning and management. While there is no absolute rules regarding the right framework, most follow a similar pattern and have common attributes. Many frameworks cycle through some variation on some very basic phases: 1) analysis or assessment, where an understanding of the current internal and external environments is developed, 2) strategy formulation, where high level strategy is developed and a basic organization level strategic plan is documented 3) strategy execution, where the high level plan is translated into more operational planning and action items, and 4) evaluation or sustainment / management phase, where

ongoing refinement and evaluation of performance, culture, communications, data reporting, and other strategic management issues occurs.

At the heart of the Criminal Justice Advisory Board initiative has been an on-going review by the board members as to the local services needed and the efforts to increase the efficiency of those services provided the citizens of Adams County. The annual strategic planning process has become the first step in identifying the central needs of the community and it plays an important role in the efficient operations of the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board. The following are the “priority issues” that resulted from the discussions at the Strategic Planning Retreat held in February of 2017:

Crisis Intervention Training – Establish a community partnership to work with mental health consumers and family members within Adams County; set a standard of excellence for law enforcement officers with the respect to treatment of individuals with mental health issues in our communities.

Status: Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) has been developed and is being implemented through a CIT Coordinator. Though response to the program among law enforcement personnel has been positive, there are still law enforcement officers in the County who may not recognize crisis intervention for mental health as a priority and have not received training.

Revenative measures for "At-Risk" populations – Focus on identifying the greatest at-risk populations within the County and explore various preventative measures that may be used to reduce the risks to which these groups are exposed. CJAB will reach out to local legislators, research funding opportunities, and help to identify service need and attempt to bridge gaps in delivering those services to the necessary populations.

Status: This work is ongoing. Active participation in CJAB by community partners such as Collaborating for Youth and Survivors Inc. ensures that attention is focused on emerging vulnerable populations and their needs. One such population is those affected by trauma, as witnesses to crime or other incidents. A new program coordinated by Victim/Witness Assistance is developing crisis response teams of trained volunteers who can provide counseling. Efforts are underway to encourage first responders to refer those exposed to trauma to the program.

Technology and Dashboard Improvements – Explore technology improvements to share data more efficiently and better align services across the system.

Video conferencing: implemented, but more training is needed to encourage and enhance participation by law enforcement and other agencies. A connection is needed to the Adams County Jail.

E-citation system: CJAB has obtained a grant to implement the system. A working committee is in place.

Technology tools and updates: ongoing, includes introduction of tablets and other mobile devices, and possible expansion to cloud-based data storage.

Virtual warrant system – this remains a need but will require funding for implementation

Unified intake and case management: while this is desirable, significant obstacles and barriers exist in terms of protecting confidentiality and adhering to varying state-imposed policies. CJAB recognizes the value of unified intake but does not perceive it to be a realistic short-term priority.

The CJAB sub-committees will continue their focused work on accomplishing these CJAB priorities in the coming years. As indicated previously, many of the priorities have already developed into significant projects and accomplishments for the CJAB and its members. Since the original 2008 CJAB needs assessment, numerous other issues in the criminal justice system have come to the forefront. In addition to the original three priority areas of concern mentioned above, the following additional issues were identified as future concerns of the CJAB:

Other priorities

Domestic violence issues – Survivors Inc. will continue to serve as a liaison to CJAB.

Local drug and alcohol services and assessments – ongoing, with an emphasis on determining the level of need and available services in the community. This would include issues revolving around the “Medicine Take Back” initiative.

The Heroin Awareness Task Force- created in 2016 by the CJAB; will focus on increasing education and awareness for heroin and opioid addictions, as well as the prescription drug epidemic.

Coordination of human services and mental health – ongoing. Coordination of resources remains a significant issue.

Community education – a new area of concern is the difficulty that persons with criminal records have in entering the workforce. Outreach to county employers is needed to encourage them to consider applicants with criminal records when appropriate.

Virtual Warrants – continuing work on the implementation of a virtual warrant system within the County.

Court of Common Pleas Assessment and Transformation Project – recommendations from the initial project have been implemented, and work on subsequent phases is ongoing.

Children's Roundtable – participation will continue with the Adams County CYS Children's Roundtable.

Trauma Taskforce – participation will continue with the Adams County Trauma Taskforce

Enhancement of cross-training efforts within the law enforcement community including active shooter preparedness.

Succession Planning – developing plans for succession of leadership within the sub-committees and the main CIAB.

Strategic and Management Plan Details

The Criminal Justice Advisory Board of Adams County has completed one-hundred and sixteen very successful months and has laid a foundation that holds a promising future for the criminal justice system in Adams County. Complicated challenges, however, are inevitable in the criminal justice system, and the need for collaboration and strategic planning is becoming more and more important.

Challenges for the Board

The Adams County Criminal Justice System has made some significant improvements. However, having one new program here or there throughout the system still does not solve all the problems that exist in the justice system. The future must include planning that crosses all part of the criminal justice and court systems, in order to adequately address all of the problems that exist or will exist in the future.

Maximizing our County resources will be the key to success. It will require comprehensive planning via the CJAB sub-committees and the Board to examine the whole criminal justice picture in the County, rather than looking at departments and agencies individually. The CJAB is the only entity in Adams County capable of completing this task in such a manner. Members of the Board and staff should commit to continuing the previous success of priority identification and sub-committee workgroups that identify and tackle key issues and provide the framework for which the board can address top priorities. This working document and its subsequent planning should guide the Board, the Courts and the justice system for the next several years.

Besides continued planning, the CJAB needs to move diligently on the initiatives already started, such as the Heroin Awareness Taskforce, the E-citation project and Video Conferencing initiative.

Addressing inter-agency communication and collaboration; a continuous process for the Criminal Justice Advisory Board and its members; holds considerable promise to enhance the ability of the Board to function and plan well. Efforts to enhance inter-agency communication should integrate various state initiatives (i.e. JNET, cNET, GIS, etc.) and national initiatives (i.e. Homeland Security, NRA Foundation, etc.).

Another important challenge for the Board is the issue of criminal justice program funding. Efforts to sustain funding for initial programs, continuing programs and services, and future programs and services should be an on-going discussion at the Board and committee levels. The CJAB and its staff should work collaboratively to find and enhance sources of revenue for criminal justice programs and services in the County.

Objectives through 2020

Through 2020, the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board establishes the following objectives towards meeting its goal, mission statement and priorities:

Conduct board meetings on a bi-monthly basis to openly discuss priority issues and planning.

Fully implement the function of the following committees whose purpose will be to address system gaps:

Policy Committee

Technology Committee

Mental Health Committee

Drug & Alcohol Committee

Warrant Committee

Heroin Awareness Taskforce

Trauma Taskforce

E-citation Committee

*various ad-hoc committees established by the CJAB as needed

Continue to identify problems and issues through yearly needs assessments and through subcommittee work, and proactively address those matters through strategic planning and coordination.

Continue the management of criminal justice resources and provision of services and programs through the Criminal Justice Advisory Board Office.

Review current and future CJAB Programming and policies through grant reporting and evaluation.

Provide assistance and support to the Court of Common Pleas with the execution of the Assessment and Transformation Project; including ongoing strategic planning for various court agencies.

CJAB Scheduled Meetings

Board meetings will be held bi-monthly on the second Thursday of the month beginning in February. The Board may hold additional meetings if issues or continuity is needed. The Executive Committee will meet to discuss CJAB matters as needed. Dates for scheduled CJAB meetings are listed in “APPENDIX D (see page 15; APPENDIX D).

APPENDICES

APPENDIX A. Overview and History of Adams County CJAB

The County of Adams in the state of Pennsylvania, which is approximately 519 sq. miles, was officially designated as a 5th class county in 2012 and has seen a steady increase in population for the last several years. According to the 2010 US census, Caucasians make up 90% of the population with Hispanics representing 6% and African-Americans another 2%. The approximate population size of the County is 101,546 and the County seat is in Gettysburg, PA.

The unique population and its diverse nature; comprised of both urban and rural areas; has presented interesting challenges to public officials in addressing the needs of the populous in Adams County. As development pushes in from the north, south and eastern ends of the county there has been an ever increasing demand on the limited resources within our boundaries.

With the influx of growth, the strain on the Adams County Criminal Justice System has been increasing as well, especially in regard to the tightening of governmental budgets and the responsible use of these limited resources. The Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) was formed in 2007 by public official as a forum that could address the issues facing the criminal justice system locally, while responsibly addressing the needs of the Adams County citizenry.

Prior to the inception of the CJAB, there was little effort to organize county criminal justice departments and initiatives. A forum did not exist that brought together all of the county criminal justice entities to focus on holistic organizational needs and to address those needs in a collective manner. The development of a county-based criminal justice policy board created the forum to begin a comprehensive, organized system approach to focusing on criminal justice issues in Adams County.

Overview of the Board

In September of 2007, stakeholders in the Adams County criminal justice system, with the assistance of the Pennsylvania Prison Society and the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, formed the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB). The Board approved by consensus the creation of the Executive Committee consisting of the CJAB chair, vice-chair, an at-large member, and the standing committee chairs.

During the first few months of operation, the Policy Committee met to re-evaluate the guidelines to address Board membership and voting rights. The guidelines were adopted as the Adams County Criminal Justice Advisory Board Bylaws on November 8, 2007. Three standing committees were formed at this time; the Policy Committee, the Grants Committee, and the Technology Committee and individuals were recommended to each by the Board.

In January of 2008, an ad hoc committee was formed to begin the search for a CJAB Coordinator whose role would be to assist with operations of the CJAB and to seek funding opportunities for CJAB initiatives. This committee put together a funding proposal for the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and a coordinator's grant was approved by that agency in the spring of 2008. On July 1st, 2008, the County of Adams and the Court of Common Pleas hired its first Criminal Justice Advisory Board Coordinator.

During initial meetings of the CJAB, participants identified many areas of concern within the criminal justice system and recognized the following critical matters facing the county's criminal justice system. Those matters included the following: mental health problems, performance measures and evaluation, drug and alcohol difficulties, transitional housing dilemmas and the development of a county shooting range. After some discussion about these topics, transitional housing was combined with the mental health initiatives.

As a result of identifying these four critical issues of the local criminal justice system, the first long term ad hoc committees of the CJAB were established: the Mental Health Committee and the Shooting Range Committee. The JNET Advisory Committee was also created as a subcommittee of the standing CJAB Technology Committee.

After a review process, which occurred in the second year of the CJAB, two additional ad hoc committees were organized: the Central Booking Committee and the Drug and Alcohol Committee. Early in 2009 the Central Booking Committee successfully completed the task of creating a Central Booking Plan for the County and, upon its completion, the committee was disbanded. During 2009 the CJAB created two additional ad hoc committees: the Court Efficiency committee and the Constable committee to address concerns in these areas within the county.

At the April 2010 CJAB meeting both the Drug and Alcohol and Mental Health committees' status were changed to CJAB standing committees due to the ongoing nature of their respective issues. These changes were reflected in an updated version of the Adams County CJAB's by-laws.

Throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013 the Adams County CJAB continued to make progress on several areas of concern through the diligent work of their sub-committee structure. The sub-committee structure currently consists of an Executive Committee, four (4) standing committees (Policy, Technology, Mental Health and Drug & Alcohol), and four (4) ad-hoc committees (Justice Reinvestment, Warrants, COOP, and Children of Incarcerated Parents).

The sub-committee structure has aided in providing the groundwork of support for several projects over the CJAB's first nine years. This structure has also allowed for the participation of many more individuals in the CJAB that would have been possible otherwise. This includes members from within the criminal justice system of the county as well as members of interested community organizations and agencies. The benefit of this increased participation is the escalated draw on talent that exists within the County of Adams and far greater use of limited resources for the community.

In February of 2014 there was an organizational change that occurred when the coordination responsibilities of the CJAB were placed under the newly created Department of Operational Services and the coordinator position was changed to the Director of Resource Development. This change has aided in the goal of using the County's criminal justice resources in a more efficient and responsible manner and has helped in moving the CJAB forward.

Many major projects are still being successfully worked on by the CJAB and its subcommittees including the Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) program, the Heroin Awareness Taskforce, and various technology issues including work on a virtual warrant process and video conferencing improvements within the court system.

Progress continues to be made with the CJAB going into 2017. Participation by voting members, associate members and community representatives remains strong and efforts are being made to increase the local participation levels in the upcoming years; especially among the law enforcement and the educational communities. The Adams County CJAB will continue to strive towards providing dignified, respectful and efficient services to the people of Adams County, as well as providing a responsible and effective criminal justice system locally.
