There are now two dedicated ICIS trainers whose primary resposnsibility is to train staff in four ICIS endorsed curricula: LSI-R, MI, COG/CBT, and CCW (Collaborative Casework). Assistance is needed to provide a T4T in the LSI-R and CCW for these two trainers. T4T's in MI and COG are being provided in house.

Local planning efforts have identified the problem of low levels of treatment success among criminal justice population, due in part to a lack of evidence-based programming among treatment providers, as well as the absence of a validated system for treatment matching. The resulting high rates of recidivism are a public safety hazard as well as a considerable burden on the limited resources of the local criminal justice system.
