PPO II Glenn Weeks andIntensive Case Officer Randy Pendergrasswere deployed in 2003 to assist with thedamages incurred from Hurricane Isabel.

DCC issued certificates of appreciation toeach of the officers who were deployed inthe aftermath of Hurricane Isabel, thankingthem for their service and dedication.

Sex Offender Control Program

The purpose of the Sex Offender Control Pro-gram (SOCP) is to develop and implement astatewide action plan for the supervision ofsex offenders that builds upon existing pro-grams and any additional needed programs.

Each district has officers who are spe-cially trained in the supervision of sex of-fenders.

2003/2004 Year In Review

District 30 staff continue to develop andstrengthen community partnerships and in-ter-agency collaboration that, when com-bined with the control of probation supervision, provides a comprehensivecommunity corrections strategy. Involved in the collaboration are field staffsof DCC, the Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) and Treatment Al-ternatives to Street Crime (TASC).

Other special programs receiving ongoing attention include SubstanceAbuse Screening and Interventions and Cognitive Behavior Intervention(CBI).

“District 30 staff have worked to ensure and maintain the safety of thecitizens in our District,” DeBruhl said. “I commend our staff for their ongo-ing efforts and am proud to serve as manager of the 30th District.”

partment of Correction, things were no different. That is, untilCindy Cousins and her team of applications developers swept inand decided to ease the ache of accessing information.”

OPUS – which the article calls “old” and “aging” – gets dailymaintenance attention from Cousin’s 25-person group.

“But, little by little, this outdated system is being revised andreshaped so that the person who does not use it often can still ma-neuver around the matrix of information,” the article sates.

A result of Cousins’ “power to the people” efforts is what shecalls the “one-stop” offender information site, an alternative toOPUS that is easier to navigate for infrequent users.

“It’s taking this huge OPUS database that’s very valuable, andtrying to present it in the new technology in a way that managerscan really grasp what their population is and what they need to

do,” Cousins said in the article.Another product of Cousins’ group was software that helps Cor-

rection Enterprises, according to the magazine.“The team wrote a web-based application that tracks orders for

products from the manufacturing plant to delivery,” the articlestates. “The information system allows Correction Enterprises to seewhich inmate is working on what product, and at what stationwithin a plant.”

Cousins has also opened the door for user feedback.“While this opens an avenue for constructive criticism and

ideas, the team has had no shortage of praise from clients,” the ar-ticle states.

The American Corrections Association will present the award toCousins at an August conference in Baltimore, Md.

Admit it: At some time, youhave wrestled with a form tothe frustration point of nearlyscreaming, “There’s got to bea better way!”

Sgt. Doug Olson knowshow you feel. But Olson didsomething about it, especiallywith forms that are familiar tohim in his job at BuncombeCorrectional Center.

“I sat down at my computer and began replicating the forms,but in a format that would make them easier and quicker to fillout on the computer,” he said.

Among the forms he has automated are: Affidavit and Re-quest for Detention of Fugitive from Justice (DC-127); Escape/Capture Report (DC-145);Inmate Labor Contract (DC-251); InmateLabor Contract Billing Report (DC-251A); and the TransportationLog (DC-933).

Several of his revisions have been adopted for use statewide,and others are pending. One of the keys to Olson’s success withthe forms has been his meticulous attention to ensuring exact ap-pearance duplication with the forms when they are printed out.

In 1994, the same year Olson graduated from UNC-Wilmington with bachelors degree in criminal justice, he beganhis career with the Department of Correction as a correctional of-ficer at Pender CI. He transferred to Craggy CC in 1995, and waspromoted to sergeant and assigned to Buncombe CI in 2003.

Olson has been cited by local government agencies for hisadministration of Community Work Program and litter crews, es-pecially during last year’s mountain floods. He is also called onperiodically to serve as officer-in-charge at Buncombe CC.

“Sgt. Olson displays the initiative and motivation to addressany new responsibilities or tasks he is given,” said Cliff Johnson,Buncombe CC superintendent. “He is an outstanding employeeand an invaluable asset to the Division of Prisons.”
