Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The Department of Safety’s Community Corrections Division requested a review of the pay grades for the Pretrial Services Officer classifications. The Community Corrections Pretrial Services Officer classifications are very similar to the Denver County Court Probation Officer series, and a pay relationship has been established for these two classifications. Pretrial Services Officers are responsible for clients prior to court, this includes electronic monitoring devices to provide twenty-four-hour monitoring along with interviewing, investigating, providing information and making recommendations, providing case management counseling, and referring clients under supervised release during the pre or post adjudication process. Probation Officers provide documents for the courts related to interviewing, investigating, intake/assessment, case planning, counseling and referring clients for probation and preparing pre-sentencing reports. Because the Pretrial Services Officer classification series performs work that is so similar in terms of the levels and types of duties performed by the Denver County Court Probation Officer series, and the Probation Officer classification series pay grades were recently increased by one pay grade, it is recommended to increase the Pretrial Services Officer classification series one pay grade.
