Expanding the supervision management and recidivist
tracking program.
AN
ACT Relating to the monitoring of supervised offenders under the jurisdiction
of the state department of corrections; adding a new section to chapter 43.10
RCW; and creating new sections.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW
SECTION. Sec. 1. The
legislature finds that increased communications between local law enforcement
officers and the state department of corrections' community corrections
officers improves public safety through shared monitoring and supervision of
offenders living in the community under the jurisdiction of the department of
corrections.
Participating
local law enforcement agencies and the local offices of the department of
corrections have implemented the supervision management and recidivist tracking
program, whereby each entity provides mutual assistance in supervising
offenders living within the boundaries of local law enforcement agencies. The
supervision management and recidivist tracking program has helped local law enforcement
solve crimes faster or prevented future criminal activity by reporting
offender's sentence violations in a more timely manner to community corrections
officers by rapid and comprehensive electronic sharing of information regarding
supervised offenders. The expansion of the supervision management and
recidivist tracking program will improve public safety throughout the state.
NEW
SECTION. Sec. 2. A
new section is added to chapter 43.10 RCW to read as follows:
(1)
There is created, as a component of the homicide investigative tracking system,
a supervision management and recidivist tracking system called the SMART
system. The office of the attorney general may contract with any state, local,
or private agency necessary for implementation of and training for supervision
management and recidivist tracking program partnerships for development and
operation of a state-wide computer linkage between the attorney general's
homicide investigative tracking system, local police departments, and the state
department of corrections. Dormant information in the supervision management
and recidivist tracking system shall be automatically archived after seven
years. The department of corrections shall notify the attorney general when
each person is no longer under its supervision.
(2)
As used in this section, unless the context requires otherwise:
(a)
"Dormant" means there have been no inquiries by the department of
corrections or law enforcement with regard to an active supervision case or an
active criminal investigation in the past seven years.
(b)
"Archived" means information which is not in the active data base and
can only be retrieved for use in an active criminal investigation.
NEW
SECTION. Sec. 3. The
homicide investigative tracking system and the supervision management and
recidivist tracking system are tools for the administration of criminal justice
and these systems may not be used for any other purpose.
