In the context of these principles, the division seeks to establish an approach to responding to violations that will result in: The more successful transition of offenders under supervision to the community, in an effort to reduce future victimization, increase public safety, and enhance the ability of offenders to become more productive members of the community;
Colorado Web Integrated Support Environment (CWISE): Information concerning the children living with the offender as well as his/her children living elsewhere will be entered into the CWISE database, which electronically houses all of the information for the division. In the case of a positive drug test, a search with drugs or paraphernalia found, or an arrest for a drug related offense, the case will be converted to an active DEC case and the officer will follow the appropriate protocols to provide the necessary services and support to these children.
DEC Training & Collaboration: Community parole officers will receive comprehensive training on the importance of recognizing and responding collaboratively to the needs of children in dangerous substance abusing environments. In addition, the community parole officers will coordinate with all appropriate agencies to ensure a safe and healthy future for drug endangered children.

Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) is a formal agreement between states that seeks to promote public safety by controlling movement of certain adult offenders. The compact has congressional consent under Article I, § 10 of the United States Constitution and pursuant to Title 4, Section 112(a) of the United States Code. The Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ICAOS.
The primary functions of the Colorado Interstate Compact office are to:
Specially assigned community parole officers supervise and document the movement, progress, and violations of Colorado cases placed on supervision or detainers in other states and U.S. Territories. The Colorado Interstate Compact operations is a multi-faceted office which acts under federal and state authority through the Colorado Department of Corrections to provide services to the general public, the private sector, Colorado Probation and the Colorado Department of Corrections. The Compact functions both as advisory in nature and authority in context. The Compact seeks parity for all offenders requesting interstate supervision by maintaining the provisions of acceptance, denial, supervision, and violation procedures nationwide.
The mission of the Pre-Release Program is to provide a consistent continuum of services between facilities and the community, accessible to all incarcerated adults preparing for release, in order to target the known predictors of recidivism and increase opportunities for successful reentry.
The goal of the Pre-Release Program is to assist individuals to identify critical barriers to successful community reentry and to identify internal strengths and external resources in order to expand individual networks of support. This is accomplished through the development of a transitional action plan in the areas of identification, housing, employment, transportation, money management, education, healthy lifestyles, family, relationships and support systems, victim awareness and restorative justice and living under supervision.
The mission of Community Reentry, in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Corrections, community parole offices, and community partnerships will enhance public safety by providing comprehensive reentry strategies and interventions that assist each offender under community supervision. This balanced approach to offender management provides a continuum of intervention strategies while maintaining professionalism, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. The Community Reentry unit encompasses services traditionally identified with community reintegration, transitional services, and aftercare services. Community Reentry provides brokered services through state and federal agency partnerships, faith and community based collaborations, case management, and direct support services that afford the division strategies and interventions for a balanced approach to offender management.
