Week 6- October 31st

For this week I spent the majority of my time entering case updates into the MadTrack system. To do this, I had to go into each of the cases and look for an update then transcribe that update into the system. Each offender has an ID number that is used to find their case in the system. At times, no update it available, so I must copy and paste the previous update from the past month into the current month's update. This is to let DYS know the last known event that has happened. The updates are then compiled into a monthly report that is given to DYS to track closed cases and progress for each case.

Another task I was given was to go through all of the old cases, dating back to 2009 even, and call victims, offenders, and support persons for surveys. There were upwards of thirty cases that needed to be looked at. I began this long process and quickly realized that there needed to be a more organized way of keeping track of who answered my calls and who had completed the surveys for each case.
