This document summarizes Project Re-entry, a community-based prisoner reentry program in North Carolina. It was established in 2001 through partnerships between criminal justice, vocational, and social services organizations. The program aims to coordinate pre- and post-release services for offenders to improve reintegration, reduce costs, and increase public safety. Key components include pre-release programming in prisons, assistance with job readiness, placement and retention after release through case management and referrals to community resources. In later years, the program expanded its partnership with Project Safe Neighborhoods to provide additional pre-release notification and post-release support focused on reducing recidivism among chronic and violent offenders.

Evidence and policy suggests that people with multiple needs and exclusions often struggle to engage with services because of the way those services are set up. People may be well known to agencies and professionals but may not have been able to make and sustain changes in their lives. This webinar will provide an overview of the issues facing adults with multiple needs and exclusions. Due to agreements with the individuals involved, in the recording we are unable to show Leah’s story and Tommy’s story. These segments have been removed from the recording.

Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support
the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address
the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder,
and fear of crime.
Community policing
comprises three
key components:
Community Partnerships
Collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement agency and the
individuals and organizations they serve to develop solutions to problems and
increase trust in police
Organizational Transformation
The alignment of organizational management, structure, personnel, and
information systems to support community partnerships and proactive
problem solving
Problem Solving
The process of engaging in the proactive and
systematic examination of identified problems
to develop and evaluate
effective responses

Community
Partnerships
Collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement agency and the
individuals and organizations they serve to develop solutions to problems
and increase trust in police
Community policing, recognizing that police rarely can solve public
safety problems alone, encourages interactive partnerships with relevant
stakeholders. The range of potential partners is large, and these partnerships
can be used to accomplish the two interrelated goals of developing solutions
to problems through collaborative problem solving and improving public trust.
The public should play a role in prioritizing and addressing public
safety problems.
Other Government Agencies
Law enforcement organizations can partner with a number of other
government agencies to identify community concerns and offer alternative
solutions. Examples of agencies include legislative bodies, prosecutors,
probation and parole, public works departments, neighboring law enforcement
agencies, health and human services, child support services, ordinance
enforcement, and schools.

AIM: Data protection, data governance, data managementPolicy in Practice
Tues 29 Sept: Deven Ghelani spoke with Paul Withers, DPO for Walsall Council, about our lessons so far from a powerful new project backed by the LGA and NHS digital to link data across adult services, children's services, public health, the NHS and police. Good data science relies upon access to good data, and we spoke about focusing on impact to win over stakeholders, actively raising and resolving data governance concerns upfront, and how the basics of good data management (security, data cleaning, data linking) are harder and more important than the 'sexy' data science that this project will become known for.
