Statewide Supervision System
Court Services Director, Chuck Kitzman, reported that as a part of the "Enterprise View",
Minnesota Statute 299C.65 requires the development of a Statewide Supervision System that
includes all offenders, pre and post trial that are under supervision in Minnesota. This includes
both adult and juveniles on probation or in a detention facility. This information will be available to
criminal justice professionals through an interactive web site.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections requires all probation agencies, jails, workhouses, and
juvenile detention facilities to report offender information in a standard format. Currently, probation
agencies are required to report information via the annual probation survey and the detention
agencies are required to report information in the Detention Information System. i Beginning
January 1, 2001, the Department will be moving all probation agencies and all detention centers
Qails, workhouses, and juvenile detention centers) toward reporting information electronitally to the
Statewide Supervision System. The goal of this transfer is to: _ /
• Provide a timely, accurate and complete listing of who is under supervision in Minnesota
and who to contact to find out more about that supervision.
• Make the information easily accessible to all criminal justice agencies through a secure
interactive web site on the Internet.
• Standardize and coordinate state agency requirements to allow counties/facilities to
report to one state agency and have that state agency report the information to other
state agencies.
• Reduce duplicate data entry. The goal is to enter the information in one system and
electronically pass that information to the Statewide Supervision System.
,No board action was needed.

WHEREAS, a two and one-half percent cost-of-living increase in the Commissioners' base salary
