The Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives’ (DPCA) current-year general fund savings target is $286,000, reflecting the Governor’s order for a 10.35 percent reduction in projected agency spending. DPCA is expected to achieve its entire $286,000 spending reduction target.
Major Savings Initiatives
DPCA is already in the process of implementing the following actions to achieve its savings target.
General Fund savings actions include:
Decreasing non-personal service spending associated with the COMPAS contract, including: reducing training and technical support and delaying software development and integration of the risk/needs assessment tool into a new web based case management system. These actions will result in $100,000 savings in the current year.
Implementing a vacancy control policy for two positions, resulting in savings of approximately $62,000.
Transferring the costs associated with two positions to Federal grant funds. This will result in savings of $124,000.
