Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) requests TA for the implementation of a probation model of community supervision that employs “swift-and-certain” sanctions as established by law in 2012. This assistance will allow the DOC to develop outcome and fidelity measures that inform an evidence-based response to violations of probation.
