PRETRIAL SERVICES COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD

May 19, 2020 Report Committee Members

Chief Judge William Bain, 4th Judicial District (Chair) Lt. Michael Baier, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Dr. Jonathan Caudill, Citizen Judge Shannon Gerhart, 4th Judicial District Patrick Kelly, Citizen Jeff Lindsey, 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Katherine Livornese, Court Operations Specialist, 4th Judicial District Rosalie Roy, Managing Deputy State Public Defender, 4th Judicial District Margaret Vellar, Chief Deputy District Attorney, 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Mark Waller, El Paso County Commissioner Tim Wolken, El Paso County Community Services Department Staff: Christine Burns, Community Outreach Division, El Paso County Dawn Montoya, Pretrial Services Program, El Paso County Committee Highlights

1. The Pretrial Services Community Advisory Board did not meet in May with the next regularly scheduled meeting to be held in August.

2. Pretrial Services staff members Claudia Berg and Keona Bean were promoted to PR Bond Commissioner - Supervision. Emily Thompson was hired and began work on April 20, 2020 as a Pretrial Services Specialist – Supervision. We are in the hiring process for the Pretrial Services Specialist – Assessment and the Administrative Technician positions.

3. El Paso County Pretrial Services responded quickly and comprehensively to the COVID-

19 crisis facing our community of citizens and defendants. Staff began working remotely from home on 03/18/20, with limited issues. Managers and Supervisors worked diligently with County IT and each other to resolve technology issues to ensure that proper security and data integrity could be achieved while working remotely. Interviews with defendants are completed through a video conference and are advised through video court. Once released, the Supervision staff communicate with defendants through email and phone. Pretrial Services has a remote calling service that sends court date reminders to defendants that are on Supervised and/or Unsupervised PR Bonds. The jail population has been reduced through a collaborative effort among multiple stakeholders. Pretrial Services has adapted successfully and continues to perform all essential functions, which include bail reports to the courts (interviews and assessments), victim calls, supervision services, and notification of violations. Defendants placed on sobriety monitoring continue to register, however testing was temporarily suspended and will resume under the “Safer at Home” order. Defendants are also being granted PR Bonds by law enforcement for cases related to statue 16-4-113. Additionally, misdemeanor defendants with active misdemeanor FTA and FTC warrants (regardless of bond type)

4

are being released on a PR Bond. These combined solutions are ensuring that fewer defendants are being brought to the jail. Finally, several courts are releasing defendants on PR Bonds.

4. Due to COVID19, the proposed Pretrial Services legislation, SB20-161, has not had any movement.

5. Pretrial Services utilizes continuous quality improvement to align with state and national

standards. Bail Reports no longer include a recommended bond amount and release of information forms are being drafted.

6. The Colorado Association of Pretrial Services’ Board put together the attached

newsletter to keep connected on how different Pretrial Services programs are managing during COVID-19 and the status of the CPAT-R study.

7. The next committee meeting is scheduled for August 5, 2020.

THE PRETRIAL POST APRIL 2020

To all CAPS Members:

On behalf of the CAPS Executive Board, we want to start by saying we hope

you are staying healthy, safe, and well! While there are so many communities

being impacted by the Coronavirus Pandemic, we want to assure you there is

light beyond the difficult times we all may be facing.

First, we want to recognize how unique pretrial services programs are to the

justice system. As many counties have been forced to rapidly adapt to the new

forms of teleworking, other pretrial professionals are still working in the midst

of some of the most exposed areas (i.e. jails). We thank you for continuing to

show up to work to preserve the integrity of the hard work that has been done

for so many pretrial reform efforts. Without each of you coming to work and

doing what you do best, jails would be in an

even worse position with limited alternatives

when releasing defendants on PR Bonds. We

also thank those of you who supervise

defendants. As court dates are being pushed

back, caseloads are increasing, and you may

be feeling the fatigue of teleworking; from the

bottom of our hearts and from jurisdiction to

jurisdiction, we hope you continue to strive in

this difficult time, and know we are all so

appreciative of the work you continue to do.

The CAPS Executive Board originally had a

Spring Training planned for you; however, it has

since been postponed. Don’t worry though! We

will continue to diligently monitor orders related

to COVID-19, and if we aren’t able to have an

in-person group training within the next few

months, then we will put together an online

training for you all. As we know more, we will keep all of you updated.

In the meantime, should you have any questions or concerns for the CAPS

Board, know we are here for you! Please don’t hesitate to email us at

[email protected] .

Stay well,

CAPS Executive Board

Update from Dr. Victoria

Terranova regarding the

status of CPAT-R

revalidation:

“We are in the midst of

conducting our phase 3

analysis. This involves

collecting the data, merging

all of the data sources

together, recoding etc. We are

fortunate with the timing of

the project in that the COVID

response has not interfered

with the project’s progress, so

far. The phase 3 analysis

includes assessing the

predictive performance of the

CPAT/CPAT-R, difference in

predictive performance

across protected groups (ie.

race/ethnicity, gender) and

the reliability of the tool’s self-

report information. Once our

project deliverables are

complete, we will disseminate

to the PEN and our state

funders. Our anticipated

completion of these final

tasks for the project is

May/June. “

Boulder County: Boulder County Pretrial has been working remotely since

3/17/20. We have an amazing IT team that set us all up on laptops so we

could seamlessly connect with all our case management systems. It took a

bit to get cell phones ordered for us all, but we managed to “see” all our

clients with the few phones we had during the first week. Our Bond

Commissioner Unit is also working mostly remotely and their productivity

has not decreased at all. They are going above and beyond to support other

units by scanning court documents, getting ROIs signed and working with

jail and court staff to develop creative release plans. Court hearings are

being held through video conferencing when appropriate to minimize the

number of people coming into the courtrooms. It has been a very

collaborative effort in Boulder County to support clients and community

safety while maintaining social distancing.

How are Pretrial Services Programs Managing Services

During COVID-19?

Larimer County: Larimer County developed our own Records Management System in 2015, LOIS, that allowed

us to make some exciting changes during this COVID-19 Crisis. Beginning March 22, PTS staff and the IT

development team worked hard to expand our client Mobile App to allow clients to E-sign contracts with video

conferencing. The idea was developed in less than two weeks with a fast launch on April 3. The mobile app was

previously available to notify clients of court dates, case management information and to allow them to

complete check-ins online. Through the High-Five video conferencing application attached to the PTS Mobile

App, clients are now able to video chat with a case manager, have contracts sent to them electronically, and

they are able to complete those with a fully legal E-Signature. This has allowed Larimer County to lower foot

traffic into the facility and, going forward, will better assist clients with barriers to signing contracts in

person. Case managers have also been using the video chat feature for Enhanced and Intensive meetings with

clients. Substance monitoring for clients was lowered and clients are being encouraged to work with their

attorneys to have the Court modify bond conditions to suspend testing during these times. With simple luck in

timing, the PTS Intake Unit offices in the jail recently moved from booking to a alternate location within the

jail. Clients are now able to be interviewed in booking over the phone to complete CPAT scores to further

distance staff from clients. Also, prior to Advisement court, intake staff have been able to enter housing to

obtain signatures on releases to better assist the Advisement court process.

Weld County: Per our Chief Judge, pretrial

services staff are not authorized to enter

the jail through 5/1/20. Therefore, our

pretrial release screening work has

suspended. Staff are teleworking,

managing caseloads through phone, email

and digitally; contacting release defendants

for supervision intakes and completing

paperwork through “Adobe Sign” (our new

best friend). We are seeing an increase in

electronic monitoring conditions and more

PR bonds. Our team is working efficiently

and effectively, and we couldn’t be prouder

of them during this tough transition!

Mesa County: Criminal Justice Services has had a pandemic response plan for many years, most of which

revolves around staffing levels. Though we have not had any issues with staffing levels, the peculiarity of COVID-19

has caused us to be approximately 2 levels ahead of where we would normally be in our plan. Pretrial Services, being

one program under Community Based Services, all housed under Criminal Justice Services which includes Community

Corrections has seen several modifications to its normal operations. Arrest standards at the jail have been temporarily

changed to only allowing statutorily mandated arrests to be taken into custody which has caused the number of PTS

interviews to drop dramatically. The Jail has reduced its count by approximately 45% in a variety of ways which has

increased many Community Based programs population including Pretrial Supervision, Deferred Judgement and

Sentencing, electronic monitoring (we furloughed approximately 20% of Community Corrections clients who are all on

some sort of electronic monitoring), etc. In an effort to reduce client contact, we have reduced substance testing,

complete intakes, client meetings, and check-in by phone or email when possible. We have taken a few of our “at risk”

staff and created a behind the scenes group who work off site or at home with no face to face client contact. This

group handles most of our electronic monitoring, as well as phone and email contact with clients.

Garfield County: Garfield County has had excellent collaboration during the

COVID-19 crisis. Our Jail, DA's, PD's, Judges, Court, police departments and

local stakeholders have communicated on a weekly basis since March. The

group worked together to create an effective plan to help with social

distancing within the criminal justice system. A lot of court processes and

pretrial work is being done remotely via video conferencing, phone and email.

Our individual departments will continue to change our procedures as the

governors ban is lifted and covid cases are eliminated from our area. From

our County to your's, be well.

Denver County:

• Majority of pretrial staff participating in telework to slow the spread of

COVID-19

• Limited staff are in office 24/7 to cover equipment issues and alerts,

walk in clients, and releases from the jail

• Some court hearings, including those in custody, are being done

virtually; other hearings and all trials have been rescheduled for later

this year

• Contact with clients is limited to electronic monitoring servicing only

(using PPE), meetings and intakes are otherwise done over the phone

• Pretrial staff continues to file compliance reports with the courts and

track violations

• Denver’s jail population is at an all time low

• PR bonding rates have significantly increased

Douglas County: Douglas County began

using a rotating schedule on 3/23/20 which

reduced our in-office staff by 50%. Staff are

wearing masks when in the office, and we are

only having contact with defendants who are on

electronic monitoring. Our IT department worked

hard to get all our staff set up to be able to work

remotely, and staff have been conducting intakes

over the phone. We have been collaborating with

the jail to have defendants call our office to

complete intakes while they are being booked

out of the jail to increase compliance rates. Staff

have continued to address non-compliance with

defendants; however, we are limiting the amount

of applications to revoke being filed. Staff are now

attending advisement hearings by phone, and PR

bonds have increased while the jail population

has decreased.

STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE

May 19, 2020 Report Committee Members

Rosalie Roy, Managing Deputy State Public Defender, 4th Judicial District (Chair) Russ Bogardus, Citizen Bridget Collins, Deputy Court Executive, 4th Judicial District Teri Frank, El Paso County Sheriff's Office Chris Garvin, El Paso County Department of Human Services Lori Griffith, 4th Judicial District Probation Department Jeff Lindsey, El Paso County District Attorney's Office Susan Wheelan, El Paso County Public Health Brandon Wilson, El Paso County Interagency Relations Tim Wolken, El Paso County Community Services Department

Committee Highlights

1. The Strategic Planning Committee met via Microsoft TEAMS on April 23, 2020. 2. The Committee discussed data sharing opportunities and how a data sharing agreement

between criminal justice agencies in El Paso County might be developed based on MOUs from other counties utilizing best practices in data integration and analysis. This would help promote a continuum of care and services across the criminal justice system.

3. Members reviewed information on responses to COVID-19 and impacts across the state,

especially regarding the Colorado General Assembly, and helped to determine what information should be reported by the Legislative Affairs Committee in light of the 2020 legislative session being suspended for multiple weeks. Concerns regarding bills with large fiscal notes likely being postponed indefinitely and focus on the next fiscal year budget with the limited time remaining in this year’s session were primary points of discussion.

4. Options for holding the 2020 second quarter meeting remotely or where to hold the

meeting to respect social distancing measures were reviewed, with the committee ultimately determining Microsoft TEAMS would likely be the best option and that a brief guide on meeting via TEAMS would be beneficial to distribute to CJCC members and meeting attendees in advance of the May 19 meeting.

5. The next committee meeting will be held July 23, 2020.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COMMITTEE

May 19, 2020 Report

Committee Members

Carey Boelter, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (Co-Chair) Billie Ratliff, Memorial/UC Health (Co-Chair) Dr. Victoria Allen-Sanchez, CSFD, CARES Amber Biss, El Paso County Department of Human Services Kathryn Chacon, El Paso County Department of Human Services Charlene Coffin, Penrose-St. Francis Health Services Julie Gittens, Bridges Behavioral Treatment Services Jane Gravelle, El Paso County Department of Human Services Stephanie Green, Another Life Foundation Judy Haller, 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Brenda Heimbach, El Paso County Public Health Dr. Robin Johnson, El Paso County Public Health Andrea Kedley, Colorado Community Health Alliance Kelly McCullough, Public Defender’s Office, 4th Judicial District Claire Moon, 4th Judicial District Probation Department Marysia Pawlik, AspenPointe Joe Sanchez, TESSA Joel Siebersma, Springs Rescue Mission Lynn Shull, National Alliance on Mental Illness Committee Highlights 1. Committee meetings were not held in March or April due to COVID-19 concerns, but

the members were emailed to review Action Plan items and a Microsoft TEAMS meeting was held May 8th.

2. The Committee is working to review and complete the Stepping-Up County Self-Assessment. Stepping Up relays 6 questions that county leaders need to ask when working to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in Jail. These 6 question areas comprise the self-assessment, with each question containing a series of action steps to determine the degree to which we are addressing each area: 1. Is our leadership committed? 2. Do we conduct timely screening and assessments? 3. Do we have baseline data? 4. Have we conducted a comprehensive process analysis and inventory of services? 5. Have we prioritized policy, practice, and funding improvements? 6. Do we track progress? A google document with the entire self-assessment was created for members to review and complete if they have knowledge on any question, helping to cohesively develop the assessment for El Paso County. The Committee intends on completing the self-assessment and developing a report for the CJCC third quarter meeting.

3. Behavioral Health Connect (BHCON) Update:

We have operated status quo with the exception of wearing PPE on all calls and in ED/psych hospitals. The second team started mid-February but not fully on road until April due to conferences, trainings, and illness. Case manager started in Dec and we have seen much more thorough follow up process with more clients contacted and provided services. Antidotally we been called to multiple parent child conflicts with nearly 50% of the clients this quarter being under the age of 18. Some calls occurred in school and others have been occurring since quarantine. Parents are wanting their children placed out of home as they do not know what to do with them and kids are reporting wanting out of their homes. If neither meeting criteria for a hold or arrest, there is not much units on scene can do but make a DHS report and support them in determining if another responsible adult is available to allow the kid to stay for the night for things to cool down.

4. The Committee typically meets on the 2nd Friday of each month.

TRANSITION TO WORKFORCE COMMITTEE

May 19, 2020 Report Committee Members Christine Richard, Colorado Department of Corrections, Division of Adult Parole (Co-Chair) Jen McKee, Pikes Peak Workforce Center (Co-Chair) Pedro Arellano, Springs Rescue Mission Becky Boerjan, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Armi Hall, Springs Recue Mission Volunteer Cliff Hunter, Springs Rescue Mission Hilary Johnson, ComCor, Inc. Denise Krug, Discover Goodwill Jess Larsen, 4th Judicial District Probation Department Kurt Runge, 4th Judicial District Probation Department Dywane Thompson, Colorado Community Health Alliance Tandi Zerfoss, Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center Committee Highlights 1. The Committee met via phone conference on March 25, 2020

2. The Committee is working to streamline the process of building the Employer

Association by utilizing existing association meetings to present to employers. For example, the Homebuilders Association has been contacted and meetings will be scheduled as soon as possible.

3. A new agency has joined the committee! Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO)

was connected with members and has an interest in helping with Committee objectives, as their mission is to put justice involved to work. CEO’s efforts in Colorado Springs launched in 2018, and they conduct extensive data tracking across a variety of measures including participant demographics, program progress, transitional work attendance, and job coaching, placement, and retention.

4. Monthly updates to the LinkedIn page are posted to keep citizens and employers

informed of progress.

5. In the interest of reporting employment statistics and Committee outcomes, the members are working to determine how to gather appropriate, consistent, and accurate metrics on employment rates for justice involved citizens. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the unemployment rate in Colorado Springs to be 5.5% in March, 2020, which has unfortunately been increasing from 2.8% since December, 2019. This is slightly higher than the State average and may continue to rise as the nationwide unemployment rate reported for April is 14.7% (up from 4.4% in March, due to COVID-19 impacts). The Committee will work to help improve employment outcomes for justice involved individuals as communities work through concerns regarding COVID-19.

6. The committee typically meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month.

May 19, 2020 Report Committee Members Janet Huffor, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (Chair) Dr. Alexis Harper, El Paso County Community Services Department Carly Hoff, City of Colorado Springs Dr. George Reed, University of Colorado Colorado Springs; School of Public Affairs J. Adrian Stanley, El Paso County Public Health Brandon Wilson, El Paso County Interagency Relations Update on the Colorado General Assembly and 2020 Legislative Session On March 10 Governor Polis made the decision to declare a state of emergency in response to the COVID-19 outbreak that was rapidly unfolding in various mountain communities and along the Front Range. In response to this declaration, the Executive Committee of the Colorado General Assembly convened on March 13 and prepared two bi-partisan resolutions to address how the legislature would operate during an unprecedented health emergency. The first resolution drafted proposed to temporarily adjourn the General Assembly beginning March 14 and would last through March 30. With the state capitol being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Colorado, hitting the pause button on session would help to encourage recommended social distancing and prevent the spread of the virus. The second resolution was drafted to seek legal guidance from the Colorado Supreme Court on whether the adjournment would allow the session to be extend past the original May 6 end date. Both resolutions were adopted, and the General Assembly went into an official two-week recess on March 14. During the first two weeks of the health crisis Governor Polis issued an Executive Order closing all ski areas and issued a statewide “stay at home” order that took effect on March 26. The initial order was set to expire on April 11 but was extended to April 26 in response to the spread of the virus. While the order did not apply to the legislative branch, the General Assembly chose to remain in adjournment and is tentatively scheduled to return on May 18. On Wednesday, April 1 the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on a 4-3 vote that during the exceptional circumstances of a public health disaster emergency, the General Assembly will be able to meet past its May 6 adjournment date. Under current law, the General Assembly can only meet for 120 days per year. There was confusion and disagreement among lawmakers if those 120 days had to be consecutive or if they could be working days. The court determined that when the General Assembly can reconvene, they will be able to finish out the remaining 53 days of the legislative session. The Governor’s budget office is projecting close to $3 billion in lost revenue for the remainder of the current fiscal year (FY20), as well as the next fiscal year (FY21), which begins on July 1. The county’s lobbyist believes that number could be closer to $4 billion which would could represent as much as 20% of the state’s general fund budget. Budget writers have begun

reviewing recommendations from legislative analysts for potential cuts across all government agencies and the Governor’s budget office has asked all state agencies to find more than $43 million in spending cuts for the final three months of the fiscal year. The Joint Budget Committee (JBC) began meeting on Monday, May 4 to make decisions on how and where to cut what will amount to billions of dollars in state spending. While Colorado is expecting to receive over $2 billion in federal aid from the stimulus package, those funds must cover only those unexpected expenses related to COVID-19 and not broader revenue losses. When the state receives new revenue projections, on or around May 12, the JBC will essentially be forced to re-start on the spending plan for FY2020-21. Two areas that committee members will be looking at reducing spending in is K-12 education as well as PERA. Other ideas being floated relate to drawing down the state’s reserve account ($814 million) and tapping into the TABOR Emergency Reserve, which can only be done when there is a declared emergency. If needed, the General Assembly has the authority to declare a “fiscal emergency” if it deems that the decline in revenue threatens the “orderly operation of the state government and the health, safety, or welfare of the citizens of the state.” Doing this would trigger three options: 1. Allow lawmakers to divert cigarette/tobacco tax collections from its intended purpose under

Amendment 35 toward broader health related expenses. 2. Require the Governor to take action to reduce personnel costs through layoffs, furloughs,

suspension of salary hikes/merit pay, hiring freezes, and re-allocating vacant positions. 3. Under TABOR, lawmakers could approve an emergency tax increase without prior voter

approval. Note – This money could only be used after funds from the TABOR emergency reserve were depleted and would require a two-thirds vote by the House and Senate. Also, the tax increase would be placed on the ballot during the subsequent election and would need to be approved to keep in place.

When lawmakers return, they are expected to focus on the state budget, School Finance Act and recovery efforts, especially related to the growing economic crisis caused by the shutdown. What remains to be seen is what new and previously introduced legislation lawmakers will prioritize outside of those bills they are constitutionally required to pass each year. At the beginning of this month, sponsors of the highly contentious paid family leave bill realized that the devastating impacts of COVID-19 on small businesses would mean that the bill would not get introduced this session and passage would have a better chance if left to the voters of Colorado. Colorado Families First is backing three different initiatives that would offer anywhere from 12-16 weeks of leave. To be placed on the November ballot, an initiative would require 124,632 valid signatures. HB20-1349, which would’ve created a public health insurance option in the state, has also been shelved, due to the significant budgetary impacts of the coronavirus. The Legislative Affairs Committee of the CJCC is currently monitoring 20+ criminal justice related bills that were introduced prior to the General Assembly temporarily adjourning. Bills that do not have an impact on the budget will be reviewed and prioritized. KC Becker, who is the current Speaker of the House, has told her members that any bill with a large fiscal note or those bills that are not bipartisan will have a hard time going anywhere. Most existing bills will not get prioritized and will die in appropriations. El Paso County’s lobbyist indicated that he thinks lawmakers will be back for three weeks before adjourning for the remainder of the year.

Agenda Item Summary

Agenda Item: Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health Gaps and Needs Analysis Update


Agenda Item Number: #5 – A (20 minutes)

Presenter: Lynn Dierker and Alana Ketchel – Health Management Associates

Information: X Endorsement:

Health Management Associates (HMA) was hired as the study consultant in February 2020. The attached presentation is first report from HMA which provides a review of the current status of Behavioral Health in El Paso County including data on depression/anxiety, suicide, substance use, and justice involvement. There are a variety of intervention strategies, intercepts for service provision to address population specific concerns, and the report provides an idea of how service areas overlap and could benefit from collaboration and data integration. The report concludes with an analysis of the projected level of need across the community, including serving justice involved and at-risk populations and some opportunities for improving service areas.

The second phase of the study will begin in June, which will involve compiling potential solutions to meet need based on available information through local and state studies regarding behavioral health. This will be a preliminary look at what actions can be taken in several areas of need identified in the first phase of the study.

PRELIMINARY THEMES CROSS CUTTING CONSIDERATIONS

+ Risks for not meeting standards of care for individuals with BH/addiction+ Current siloes contribute to duplication, fragmentation, missed opportunities across the

continuum+ Lack of system design, processes, workflows, information sharing

+ Example: Jail lacking defined communication/navigation/info sharing with community

+ Population specific approaches must be considered+ Identify subpopulations, then align interventions and resources

+ Homeless and safe surrender, workforce delivering BH services

+ Without an integrated data system, lack of data and information sharing will continue toimpede evidence-based resource investments and ability to substantiate return on investment

+ Lack of consistent collection of structured data (common data definitions, interoperable data systems)

+ Lack of ability to support population health management

+ Lack of ability to track individuals in the system

+ Lack of data needed to evaluate overall system ROI, including population and program specificoutcomes

+ Leadership and accountability is essential for achieving improvements+ Need for empowerment of a collaborative governance entity with accountability to lead and

demonstrate outcomes from countywide initiatives


19

NEXT STEPS

+ Complete data collection
