Summary
Members of the Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force steering committee agreed on a development timeline for the 2026 annual report, assigned volunteer authors and previewed an interim public data dashboard pulling existing justice-related indicators; first-draft outlines are due May 4.
At its meeting, the Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force (IPRTF) steering committee set a timeline for the 2026 annual report and previewed an interim public data dashboard that will compile existing justice-related indicators for public access.
Jill, who led the presentation, reviewed a schedule that calls for first-draft outlines to be submitted by Monday, May 4, followed by a May steering committee first review and subsequent committee and legal reviews in May and June. "Today, my hope is that we can select the main topics and assign topic authors for a first draft outline or an outline due Monday, May 4," Jill said.
The document will follow last year’s format, divided into two sections: "topics before the task force" and a "justice project implementation plan progress report," Jill said. Committee members volunteered to author sections: Peter offered to work on committee structure and data, Bertie offered data support, and Marty and others agreed to contribute JPOP-related material.
Jill and Marty also previewed an interim data dashboard posted to the county website that aggregates indicators and existing reports relevant to the justice implementation plan, including crisis triage center data, diversion-program measures and court-system reports. "What you're seeing here is the first rough cuts of these pages," Jill said, noting the dashboard is intended to gather public-facing materials in one place.
Marty emphasized that much of the dashboard is static — it pulls material already published by data holders such as the county health department, court reports and program evaluations — and that the pages will be updated by adding new reports as they are published. Committee members raised concerns about currency: several diversion program data sets run only through 2023. "We're using what we could get from those programs," Jill said, adding that a contracted evaluator is preparing newer evaluations that could be added after release.
Jill said she will email the steering committee a link to the landing page once outstanding approvals from content providers (including sheriff’s office materials and crisis-triage data) are finalized, and she invited feedback from members before wider public posting.
The committee agreed to the May 4 deadline for first drafts and to follow the proposed review schedule. Jill said staff will collate the volunteer authors’ outlines into a narrative format for the final report.
