Intelligence-Led Policing in Jails
Are you aware of the gold mine of intelligence in your jail? Do you know how to dig this intelligence out? The idea of crime mapping and intelligence-led policing has been on the streets for some time but the intelligence that can be found in jails is often forgotten. During this presentation, we will discuss the tools available to mine for intelligence and how it can be used to not only proactively prevent crime in the jail, but solve crimes in the community. Additionally, we will discuss the idea of crime mapping the jail and using this information to identify “hot” spots and focus intelligence and security efforts on those areas.

Applying Broken Windows Theory in Jails
Does your jail feel safe? Why or why not? We will use the "Broken Windows" theory that proposes a community will continue to deteriorate if something as simple as broken windows are not repaired. These "broken windows" in our jails can be graffiti or other similar, lesser crimes or violations. We will explore the science behind why people do not feel safe in certain areas and how you can apply this science in your jail to make both inmates and staff feel safer. We will discuss practical solutions in an interactive format that will increase the safety and security of your facility.
Developing Reentry Services from Nothing with No Money
Do you need a reentry program but have no way to fund one? The Sedgwick County Offender Re-Entry (SCORE) Program was created to assist inmates reentering our local community by helping them gain access to government IDs, housing, medical & mental health services, food resources, and employment. SCORE was built by an agency with no previous reentry services and with no funding for the program. Community engagement and community partners allowed us to build the SCORE Program from nothing, by not only finding out how the community can help us but what we can do as an agency to help our community partners. Our program also includes an inmate computer lab for job readiness and job applications with the help of a community partner. At this time, the only expense has been the reassignment of an employee. If you have little to no money, but the desire to cut the recidivism rate in your facility, we have a blueprint for you.
