DCS’s Strategic Plan details the goals, measurable objectives, and strategic initiatives for improving the agency's overall performance. Updated annually, the plan reflects a collaboration of DCS, criminal justice partners, and other community stakeholders.

The DCS Research Agenda explores how community supervision can be more humane, effective, and grounded in the real-life experiences of those we serve. Instead of focusing only on surface-level data, we work with academic partners to examine deeper questions that lead to meaningful improvements in probation and parole services.
