Current Radio Program:

Examining what employers need and communicating with employers differently: These are the keys to the Employer-Driven Employment Model, a new framework developed by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) for improving the employment outcomes of job seekers with criminal histories. In this program, we uncover the four parts of the model and examine how savvy correctional organizations might engage with employers by following a comprehensive program of public relations, marketing, and community outreach.

Guests on the show include included John Rakis, consultant to NIC, and Francina Carter, Correctional Program Specialist and Program Manager of Offender Workforce Development for the National Institute of Corrections.

A series of NIC documents outlining the steps of the “The Employer-Driven Model” are available at . Find more employment resources, including information on how to become an Offender Workforce Development Specialist, at www.nicic.gov/owd.

Current Radio Program:

The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), with technical expertise from SEARCH, provided assistance to the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) through a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to develop and pilot an information exchange with law enforcement through state fusion centers. ICAOS represents the sole authority for regulating the transfer of adult probationers and parolees across states, including over 150,000 transfer request per year.

Using Global standards such as the Global Reference Architecture (GRA) and National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), APPA was able to support the implementation of a pilot exchange involving the New York State Intelligence Center (NYSIC). Since September of 2013 NYSIC has received over two hundred notifications, on average 10 per week,  of potentially dangerous or high risk probationers/parolees entering the state of New York. These notifications are disseminated to local police departments throughout the state to improve officer safety and promote collaboration between police, probation, and parole agencies. ICAOS, APPA, and SEARCH are currently expanding the exchange to other states and state fusion centers across the country.

Those interested in learning more about the exchange, or those affiliated with a state fusion center and interested in participating, should contact Adam K. Matz of APPA at amatz@csg.org or (859)244-8058.

Our guests include Gregory Crawford, Correctional Program Specialist with the National Institute of Corrections; Phil Nunes, Chief Programs Officer at Alvis House; and Spurgeon Kennedy, Director of Strategic Development for the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia and Vice President of the National Association of Pretrial Services Agencies.
