Please label any attachment as “Program Narrative”

Tracker is a State-wide program offered to prosecuting attorney office as a database and case
management system. DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office began using Tracker case
management software three (3) years ago. The ultimate goal of our office using the Tracker system is
to help us communicate with other Prosecutor’s Offices to coordinate services for victims and to track
a defendant’s offenses in other judicial circuits. The elements to enhance in Tracker under this project
include:
1. Restitution Enhancement
Develop method to store and report on restitution amounts requested by victim, recommended
by prosecutors and ordered by judges in Tracker.
2. Workflow Support
Augment the current victim witness intake process and victim contact events with a unified
data entry avenue in Tracker.
3. Case History Data Analysis

Enhance Tracker’s ability to track the history of the case file. For example, a domestic
violence homicide occurs while there is a pending case is being processed in the office.
Looking and the history of staff assignments on the case might show the processing time for a
domestic case is twice that of a burglary resulting in quantitative data showing the need for
more investigators working domestic violence cases.
4. Enhanced Victim Name Search

Expand Tracker’s ability to search cases across the state by victim name via phonetics
(soundex)
The second component of this project is the second phase of going to a paperless file system. Initially,
we spent a lot of time discussing the idea, logistics of how it would work, and purchasing a large
scanner. The second phase is implementing the plans into a pilot project within the Records Room
utilizing closed cases. The software will sort the documents by type that are scanned into the system
for each case and the server will house the data. The consultant will then complete a study to identify
any problems and recommendations for office-wide implementation (third phase and not part of this
project).
BUDGET
Please submit a budget detail, budget narrative, and budget form outlining how JAG funds, including
administrative funds if applicable, will be used to support and implement the program. Please use the
budget form sent in the email and send it as an attachment with your application (the link is also listed
below).
Awards are made in the first fiscal year of the appropriation and may be expended during the following 3
years, for a total of 4 years.
Please note: While match is not required with the JAG Program, match is an effective strategy for states
and units of local government to expand justice funds and build buy-in for local criminal justice initiatives

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

The DeKalb County Drug Court (DCDC) is a judicially supervised drug treatment/alternative sentencing
program offered by DeKalb Superior Court. The program serves nonviolent, felony offenders whose criminal
behavior was driven by drug addiction. The DCDC is an interdisciplinary collaborative that joins the Superior
Court, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, Police Department, Sheriff’s Department, Pretrial
Services, and Community Service Board.
The DCDC formally began operation in July, 2002 and maintains a 65% treatment retention rate, among the best
in the nation. The DCDC partners with a wide-range of community-based organizations, including churches,
universities, and nonprofit agencies.
Treatment services are based on a model which matches treatment intensity to disease severity and participant
risk characteristics. The program model includes 5 step-down phases, intensive judicial supervision, random
drug screens, community 12-step meeting requirements, employment, civic responsibilities, family engagement
and counseling, and aftercare programming.
The current proposal focuses on a crucial component of the DCDC, the continuation of a Community Case
Manager position for the program’s 1st Track. The position has been strictly grant funded since its inception.
The goal of Case Management is to improve treatment retention through monitoring and support for participants
to access to a continuum of supportive services, including workforce development, medical, mental health, and
services. With the severe reduction in the sources on which the DCDC has previously relied to fund program
costs, funds are also being requested for drug screening.
The Case Manager’s work responsibilities will be carried out in the DeKalb community and will require site
visits to participants’ homes, employers, and supportive community programs. The Case Manager will serves as
a liaison between participants and their families, treatment counselors, criminal justice and law enforcement
professionals, and judicial officials. The Case Manager monitors employment searches, job skills, training,
education, and housing, while searching for potential new opportunities for participants. The Case Manager
attends weekly staffing and all Drug Court training. As the intent of the Recovery Act’s funds through this grant
is to create jobs and economically benefit communities, it is noteworthy that, through the Case Manager’s
efforts, the DCDC maintains a 100% employment rate for participants after six months in the program.
In late 2008, the DCDC launched a 2nd Track to more effectively target drug addicted offenders with protective
factors—family, housing, and employment—still intact, effectively stagnating the downward spiral of addiction
at an earlier point in the criminal justice system. Early data on this division of the DCDC proves promising. No
funds are currently being requested for the 2nd Track from this grant program as a 3-year comprehensive
SAMHSA grant was obtained to fund it.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of the present proposal is to continue the DeKalb County Drug Court’s (DCDC)
Community Case Manager position and to continue existing drug screening services, enabling the
program to continue utilizing evidenced based practices to effectively serve non-violent, criminally-
involved, addicted populations.

In 2004, the DCDC interdisciplinary team committed LLEBG funds, and later JAG funds, to sustain a
community supervision position. The position monitors high-risk participants in the community and is
responsible for overseeing employment, housing, and program compliance. Data demonstrates that the
community supervision position is boosting program outcomes: 88% of participants referred to
residential placements complete a three-month scholarship requirement and 86% of participants above
Phase II (90 days) are employed at least 20 hours per week – collectively, earning approximately
$40,000 per month.
The interdisciplinary team proposes, through this application, the continuation of the Community Case
Manager position from 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2013. The Drug Court Director and the
interdisciplinary Drug Court team will oversee the JAG Community Supervision Services project.
Additionally, with the substantial decrease in local and state funding that covered the most crucial
expenses in the DCDC’s budget, funds are being requested to cover a portion of the program’s
treatment and drug screening costs.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

Mission Statement
The mission of the Juvenile Court of DeKalb County is to restore and direct, as law
abiding citizens, children who have admitted to or been found in violation of the law,
while protecting the best interests of each child and the community, leaving the children
in their homes whenever possible.
Given the statutory mandate of public safety and juvenile justice, DeKalb County Juvenile Court
(DJC) has taken great measures to carry out its mission with limited funding opportunities and without
any permanent therapeutic funding from DeKalb County Government. The DJC has a need to improve
and upgrade the overall technology functions for the juvenile court and the courthouse to further
advance the overall mission of the juvenile court. In addition, the DJC will continue to advance its
efforts to provide cognitive behavior programs to juvenile offenders through a multi-faceted approach
that employs restorative justice themes and graduated sanctions to reduce recidivism. The DJC will
utilize the allotted JAG funding as follows:
(1) Pursuant to O.C.G.A. §15-11-41(b) Conduct of hearings generally; recordation, etc., the juvenile
court is required by law to record and amass records for every hearing, trial and special proceeding that
is brought before a juvenile court judge. The current server space allotted to the juvenile court is
running low and the juvenile court will therefore be unable to maintain records as required by law after
November 2010.
(2) The DJC currently has an on-site computer lab for the on-site GED program that utilizes out-dated
computers. In addition, the computer lab does not have any functioning printers available for the GED
participants and instructors use during the day.
(3) The DJC would like to better manage the traffic flow and movement throughout the courthouse by
installing an electronic docketing system that will allow courthouse visitors to view their case
information via a LCD monitor installed on the 1st floor and each courtroom floor in the juvenile
courthouse. In addition, the DJC can utilize the electronic docketing system equipment to stream and
play dvd’s that address juvenile justice issues in the waiting area for each courtroom floor.
(4) The DJC will continue to utilize a multi-faceted approach to meet the varying needs of the juvenile
offenders and their families who are involved with the juvenile court. Each year, the DeKalb Juvenile
Court has seen juvenile offenders who become chronic juvenile offenders who are in contact with
juvenile court due to their exposure to more risk factors in their home community. The DJC will
purchase and utilize computer-based and evidence-based interactive programming for juvenile
offenders such as shoplifting prevention and alcohol and marijuana prevention. The availability of
cognitive behavioral programming allows juvenile offenders the opportunity to review and understand
how their dysfunctional beliefs and thoughts have lead to maladaptive behaviors and juvenile justice
involvement.
Technology Improvements
• Computer Lab: The DJC requires funding to improve the overall functioning of the onsite GED
classroom and computer lab. The DJC anticipates replacing the existing fifteen (15) out-dated
computer terminals with upgraded computer hardware and software. In addition, the DJC will
purchase five (5) new printers for use in the computer lab. The new equipment will allow
juvenile offenders an opportunity to continue their preparations for the GED examination and
facilitate their ability to take the online GED examination in a closely monitored environment.
In addition, the GED classroom also serves as the DJC on-site computer lab for juvenile
offenders.
• Interactive Cognitive Behavioral Curriculum: The DJC requires funding to purchase and offer
online cognitive behavioral programs such as a shoplifting prevention program sponsored by
the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention to juvenile offenders. This interactive
computer- based and evidence-based program for juvenile shoplifting offenders embraces the
restorative justice principles of accountability, competency development and community
safety. In addition, the DJC will contract with 3rd Millennium Classrooms to offer additional
interactive computer-based and evidence-based programs such as alcohol and substance abuse
prevention each quarter.
• Docket Call: The DJC requires funding to improve the traffic flow and movement throughout
the juvenile courthouse by purchasing and installing an electronic docket information display
system. This electronic system will interface with the DJC’s existing court case and calendar
management system to provide real-time displays of the daily court dockets for the four (4)
operating court-rooms in the juvenile courthouse. This will give courthouse visitors real-time
data related to their individual cases at the juvenile courthouse. In addition, the data will be
displayed to ensure full confidentiality for all parties and their individual juvenile court cases.
• Syscom : The DJC is required by law to record and amass records for every hearing, trial and
special proceeding brought before a juvenile court judge. The current allotted server space is
due to run out by November 2010. The DJC will purchase additional server space for the next
three (3) years that will allow the DJC to continue meeting the statutory mandates for
recordation of all juvenile court proceedings.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

Civil Process Document Tracking system
The DeKalb County Marshal’s Office seeks to institute a Civil Process Document
Tracking System. The project would be coordinated with the DeKalb County State Court
and the DeKalb County Magistrate Court. The Civil Process Document Tracking System
would increase accountability within the justice system. It is fundamental to civil justice
that a defendant should be served in the county where s/he resides. Service of process is at
the core of the Marshal’s Office function.
The DeKalb County Marshal’s Office receives multi-part paper warrant forms daily from
the county clerk’s office. These warrants are received by Marshal’s Office personnel and
are sorted by zip code and placed in bins. Deputies will then take a stack of warrants
from the bins and begin making service attempts to deliver them. It may take several
attempts to make a delivery. Once the warrant is delivered, the deputy returns part of the
multi-part form to the office and Marshal’s Office personnel return the warrant paperwork
to the county clerk. When the county clerk receives the warrant it is filed and may be
circulated in the future to other clerks or the magistrate office. Currently this whole
process is manual and paper based. The DeKalb County Marshal’s Office would like to
automate the process of handling warrants and court documents from the time they are
received from the Clerk’s Office through to when they are served and returned to the
Clerk’s Office by using a mobile barcode/RFID scanning system. The collected data
would be used to determine manpower allocation, work distribution, workload, case file
location and service time.
All papers to be served by the Marshal’s Office originate in the Clerk’s Office. Currently,
none of that information is tracked beyond the entry of a code in Banner, which is the
Clerk’s Office case management system, indicating that the case has been sent to the
Marshal’s Office for service. . The service papers are received by Marshal’s Office
personnel and are sorted by zip code and placed in bins on the ground floor of the
Administrative Tower of the courthouse. Deputy Marshals (“deputies”) then take a stack
of papers from the bins and begin making service attempts to deliver them. It may take
several attempts to effect service. As a general matter, once the papers have been served,
the deputy returns part of the multi-part/page form to the Marshal’s office and thereafter
Marshal’s Office personnel return the form to the Clerk’s Office for docketing in the case
management system and filing. The returned part of the multi-part form is an original
document with an original signature and becomes a part of the Clerk’s file. The Clerk’s
file and is the official record of the lawsuit is thereafter stored principally in the Clerk’s
office on the 2nd floor of the Administrative Tower. These files however circulate
between the numerous judges’ offices, courtrooms and calendar clerks’ offices.
The State Court Clerk’s Office and the Marshal’s Office desires to reduce time delays in
case processing by decreasing time necessary for re-entry of data to update the status of
cases as they progress through the system. We desire to eliminate double entry into
multiple systems while providing accurate and timely information on case updates. The
goal is to reduce errors resulting in lost paperwork and/or human error while improving
customer service through a more openly accessible system of information.
The Clerk’s Office uses a case management system (CMS) called Banner where all the
events, pleadings and correspondence in a case are recorded. The desired outcome of this
project is that the Marshal and the Clerk would be able to track process and case files
throughout the lifecycle of the lawsuits that it handles. A bar-coded RFID tag (passive
Gen 2 UHF) can be printed or otherwise adhered to the multi-part paper form when it
originates in the Clerk’s Office prior to transmission to the Marshal’s Office and
simultaneously for suits in which file folders are used, a RFID tag can also be applied to
the file folder. Using a mobile barcode/RFID scanning system, the DeKalb County
Marshal’s Office goal is to automate the process of handling papers from when they are
received from the Clerk through to when they are served and returned to the Clerk. The
Marshal’s goal is to be able to locate files and eliminate the current time consuming
search for an individual paper and also use the collected data to determine where a given
case file is in the process, how many are received, assigned and completed and how long
cases are in the field before being returned completed to the Clerk. The Clerk’s Office’s
goal is to passively track the location of files as they move from the Administrative
Tower to the Judicial Tower using fixed RFID readers. Essentially, the result of the
acquisition of this technology is that the Marshal’s Office would have the ability to track
all of the paper within its possession upon receipt, in the field and upon its return to the
Marshal’s Office. The Clerk would be able to keep track of the files as they circulate
between the Clerk’s Office, the judges’ chambers and their staff.
The County maintains a web-based Online Judicial System (OJS) that was developed in-
house using an Oracle SQL database. This system allows members of the public to log on
and access judicial system information. The OJS database receives data through a custom
interface from Banner. OJS contains all of the case information including the case
numbers, names of parties and their counsel and addresses associated with the case. The
Marshal’s Office wants to acquire a tracking software application that will pull data from
the current O.J.S. database and then allow users to receive (sort) cases, assign them to
deputies, track service attempts and return the cases to the clerk as completed.
Components
The project calls for three main components. The first component should be a web based
application running on the DeKalb Marshal’s Office server. The application should use a
Microsoft SQL database and will pull data from the existing O.J.S. database. The
application should have a web interface that will allow users to log in and run reports.
The second component will be a mobile handheld application running on a Motorola

mobile computer with barcode or barcode and RFID reading capabilities. Users should
be able to capture data on the mobile computers. The handheld application should have
store and forward capability that will allow users to collect data even without an 802.11
connection to the network. When the mobile computers are within DeKalb Marshal’s
Office’s 802.11 network, data collected in the field will be uploaded to the server
database. Any new cases added to O.J.S. since the prior connection with be uploaded to
the handheld device.
The third component will be an application running on a server that will collect RFID tag
information from the fixed RFID readers located in the clerk and magistrates offices.
Justification and Benefits
Some of the benefits of a passive file tracking system for State Court are as follows;
The Marshal’s Office competes with private process servers who, upon the granting of a
motion for appointment, can serve papers. Acquisition of this product will allow the
Marshal’s Office to operate more efficiently by eliminating the search for papers from
amongst an average daily load of 2,000 and in turn offer an enhanced and more
competitive service;
The ability to provide current and accurate information about the status of paper with the
Marshal for service is a value added service for payers of the service fee;
The system will allow the Marshal and/or the Clerk to provide an enhanced level of
service to the public by providing them with current information about the status of
service;
The acquired systems will eliminate any double entry of data regarding papers to be
served and service;
The system will further minimize human error by eliminating double entry of data;
Deputy clerks and judges’ staff will save time spent to physically locate files in the
Administrative and Judicial Towers;
The system will reduce the time it takes to locate files for hearing and trials;
Judicial staff will be less likely to keep files because they will now be able to locate them
in an efficient manner as needed;
The passive tracking system for files in the Clerk’s office accrues more time savings than
manual tracking because of the volume of active files maintained

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

The specific goal of this application is to obtain funding to continue the efforts of the DeKalb County
Police Department (DKPD) to maintain transparency in our daily activities with enhancements
necessary to perform law enforcement proactively and efficiently in DeKalb County.
DKPD, a Community Oriented Police Department, is committed to: (1) building strong police and community
partnerships; (2) high quality of service; (3) problem solving through innovative leadership; and (4) improving
quality of life. The purpose is to ensure the safety and security of all people who visit, live, or work in DeKalb
County by providing responsive and professional police services. The DeKalb County Police Department
operates on a strict code of ethics of which community participation and partnerships is interwoven in the daily
operation. This is built on a departmental philosophy that leads to efficient problem solving through teamwork
and cooperation, which is enhanced by decisive and professional leaders who encourage innovation.
Interactive Community Policing (ICP) is integrated throughout the DeKalb County Police Department. Each of
DKPD’s precincts are divided into sectors called ICP Sectors and are titled A, B and C. Each sector has ICP
Officers assigned to implement the Interactive Community Policing Philosophy in every community. The ICP
Unit facilitates a working partnership between the community, government services, and the police department.
This is being accomplished by working with the youth, schools, seniors, apartment managers, homeowners,
renters, businesses, religious groups, and all other community members throughout the county. The mission of
these partnerships include but are not to be limited to: addressing on-going neighborhood concerns, hazards,
working with residential and business communities to reduce crime, encouraging alternate youth programs,
coordinating efforts with other county departments, such as Code Enforcement, to enforce laws and finally to
reduce crime and the fear of crime.
The ICP philosophy is based on building positive relationships through communication and cooperation, which
ultimately leads to shared problem solving and crime reduction. The ICP Officers routinely meet and work with
established civic associations, businesses, and organizations to get feedback and address specific concerns. The
Interactive Community Policing Unit uses a number of resources to help increase visibility in the community,
including Mobile Police Precincts. Mobile Police Units are deployed in crime-ridden areas immediately where
needed and is stationed in the neighborhood until the situation is resolved and the problem is eradicated. ICP
Officers also utilize the Mobile Precincts to conduct community meetings and perform crime reduction
operations. The Mobile Precincts are also utilized during natural disasters and critical incidents. The DeKalb
County Police Department currently has five Mobile Precincts in operation. Within its operation, DKPD has five
precincts and a variety of special operations units that work cooperatively to enforce the law.
The goal of this application is to obtain funding to continue the efforts of the DeKalb County Police Department
to maintain the vital resources of the Mobile Precincts with enhancements necessary to perform law
enforcement proactively and efficiently in DeKalb County. The DeKalb County Police Department is
requesting funds to enhance interactive policing efforts. Funding will be used to purchase tactical patrol riffles
to be shared among the various units.
The DeKalb County Police Department believes the ICP initiative to be a critical component in its ability to
address the problems of crime, gang activity, and even homeland security. Where police aggressively conduct
needs analyses and work with citizens and social service groups to contain crime-breeding situations, street
crime rates drop, often dramatically.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

This grant initiative’s objective is to recruit, hire, and train a full-time Student Support Specialist who
will be assigned to a high risk school to implement substance abuse and violence prevention. The Student
Support Specialist will coordinate all drug and violence prevention efforts by conducting a needs assessment;
developing measurable goals and objectives for prevention programs specific to the school site; implementing
research-based prevention programs; and evaluating programs on an ongoing basis. We anticipate reaching
approximately 1300 students. Outcomes expected from this initiative would be far-reaching. In the short term,
the school will have a comprehensive, research-based prevention program based on its needs. Intermediate
outcomes will include reduced substance abuse and violent behavior among students, increased student
achievement, and a safe and orderly environment for learning. And ultimately, the long-term outcome will be
responsible, resilient citizens who graduate from high school and become productive members of society.
Project Need: An analysis of data illuminates the prevalence of risk factors among students in DeKalb County
Schools. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is administered to high school youth biennially. This report
summarizes the health behaviors of high school students that put them at risk for injury and illness. Many of these
behaviors put youth at risk for various health conditions throughout adulthood. In DeKalb County, 65% of all deaths
among youth aged 13-19 years result from: homicide (26%), motor vehicle crashes (25%), suicide (8%) and other
unintentional injuries (6%). The 2007 YRBS provides critical information about behaviors that compromise
adolescents’ health and safety. Results from the survey were weighted and thus are representative of all students in
grades 9-12 in DeKalb County high schools.

These indicators clearly define the task of this initiative. Even when the risk does not reach the level of state or
national averages, the objective number is too high to ignore and clearly merits the formation of systematic protocols
to meet the needs of these students.
In addition to the data described above, additional data on bullying was gathered using the Georgia Student
Health Survey (GSHS). The GSHS was administered in October 2008 to 6th and 8th grade middle school students
and 10th and 12th grade high school students in DeKalb County.

Coordination Efforts Involving JAG and Related Justice Funds: The prevention of youth violence is
fundamental to the Department of Public Safety as well as to the DeKalb County School System. Much of the
violence seen in schools is the result of community conditions such as high poverty and crime. Primary prevention
creates conditions so that the problem behavior does not occur. The efforts described in this grant application will
provide youth with the skills that they need to accept others, make right decision and become law abiding citizens.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office project is entitled Jail Security Upgrades, and involves repair and
replacement of several outdated security slider doors in the building that date back to its construction
in 1994. These slider doors control access to the secured parts of the jail, and are in constant use,
leading to inevitable wear and tear.
This project is critical, and work has already begun. Quotes are in hand, and the project can begin
immediately. DKSO expects to complete it no later than December 31, 2010.
