Critical Efficiencies in Client Intake and Supervision Plan Assignment for Diverse Caseloads

Modern-day community supervision faces constant challenges—budget constraints, increasing officer responsibility, growing caseloads, and more. New technology is helping combat these challenges to make officers’ day-to-day tasks easier and more efficient and help probation and parole departments effectively integrate evidence-based practices (EBP) into existing policies and procedures to help clients succeed.

Enhance Billing and Collections with TouchPoint® + AllPaid

With paper invoices, manual bookkeeping, and keeping records up-to-date, client billing and collections is often a time consuming and cumbersome process. But through the SCRAM Systems and AllPaid partnership, supervision agencies can easily generate invoice notifications using SCRAM TouchPoint’s Text-to-All feature—saving officers time while increasing collections.

SCRAM Nexus Analytics

Analyze and Enhance Program Performance Using SCRAM Nexus®

Community corrections agencies gather a considerable amount of information on their clients and the services that they provide, but rarely is that information cultivated to evaluate program effectiveness. With so much data, corrections departments struggle to identify and implement changes to program models. SCRAM Nexus’ powerful analytics give officers the information they need to make data-driven decisions that increase program and client success.

Securely Manage and Share Important Documents Using SCRAM TouchPoint®

With stay-at-home and safety orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, the reliance and need for technology in community corrections has never been higher. The SCRAM TouchPoint® Client Engagement Mobile app’s document management feature provides a safe and secure way for clients and officers to digitally send and receive important paperwork, removing the need for in-person contact.

Improve Client Engagement and Communication with SCRAM Nexus® + Mobile

Communication between corrections officers and their clients is largely manual, oftentimes with minimal or no record of the interactions. Officers generally spend 60% of their time on administrative tasks and only 40% on client engagement, creating unbalanced responsibilities and workflow inefficiency. But when SCRAM TouchPoint® is integrated with SCRAM Nexus®, officers can communicate with their clients like never before.

Integrating Alcohol Monitoring Technology into Probation Programs

Alcohol misuse, abuse, and addiction are common among probation populations—46% of probationers reported being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of their offense and 14% are under supervision for a DUI. But probation departments across the country are emphasizing results-oriented supervision by leveraging technology to address alcohol-involved crimes.

SCRAM Nexus Incentives
