BUILDING A NIMBLE, EFFICIENT ENTERPRISE.
MORE OF WHAT WE NEED, LESS OF WHAT WE DON’T.
Building a new organization using only existing funding
is a challenge, to say the least. Our Finance and Budget
department helped sustain our first year by juggling three
separate budgets, and we managed to improve our materials
and operations while doing so. We set up financial systems,
inventory processes, and procurement contracts, transferred
buildings, vehicles, office leases, and contracts, and replaced a
vast majority of landlines with mobile devices.
RESOURCES
EASY TO USE. BUILT TO LAST.
Robust policies and procedures are the backbone of any law
enforcement organization. We created a process to review,
update, and merge nearly 300 existing policies and procedures
into DCS to help ensure the integrity of our operations at every
level, and we created six specialized, interactive websites to
help make these policies and other documents and resources
easily accessible to internal staff.
INFORMATION EVERYWHERE.
BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER.
The Information Technology team was tireless
this year: they implemented Google Apps
for Government and Chromebooks to outfit
our Field Staff with better, faster equipment
for less than half the cost of traditional
equipment. Meanwhile, they built the Georgia
Reentry Web Portal, a web-based application
that serves the needs of DCS staff as well as
the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, the
Georgia Commission on Family Violence,
and Misdemeanor Probation Oversight
operations.
