Policy Changes
Community Expansion
One program administrator is provided to assist in the siting process for new secure community transition facilities, as proposed in the 2019-21 capital budget (project 30003577).
Transport and Hospital Watch Staff
As the Special Commitment Center (SCC) residential population ages, the department continues to experience an increase in medical demands for off-island specialty and hospital services. This item provides funding for 6.5 security guards to assist the SCC transport teams in performing hospital watches for residents who are admitted into local area hospitals as required by state law and to safeguard the public and residents.
