The Essex County Sheriff’s Department in Massachusetts has developed an innovative program, bolstered by partnerships with other criminal justice and community providers, to enhance public safety and the quality of life throughout our cities and towns. Our Supporting Transitions and Reentry (STAR) Program serves individuals with current or past justice-involvement who can benefit from enhanced case management, accountability, and, most importantly, re-entry and transition support. STAR works closely with courts, probation, parole, corrections, and local police to divert individuals away from incarceration and to ease the transition back into the community upon release, using evidenced-based and best practice models with a multidisciplinary strategy to reduce crime, arrests, and advance public safety interests. This workshop will highlight the benefits of a continuum model which includes community policing partnerships to enhance outcomes for justice-involved individuals.
