Recommendation To: Corrections and Rehabilitation, Department of
As Corrections prepares to move CalParole data into the Strategic Offender Management System (SOMS), it should modify existing employment-related fields and add to SOMS new fields that are currently not available in CalParole so that Corrections can minimize the opportunity for erroneous data entries and make employment data more reliable.
Response
In order to comply with a Federal court order, CDCR requested the SOMS team complete an emergency configuration for Secured Housing Unit (SHU) functionality in SOMS. After the emergency configuration was completed, the SOMS team resumed necessary activities to support deployment of the SOMS CalParole Replacement Parole Module under a revised schedule. The revised 'go live' date for deployment is now 12/07/2015.
SOMS Training for subject matter experts (T4T) began on 08/17/2015 and concluded on 09/04/2015. Statewide training for all DAPO staff is currently underway and will be completed on 11/25/2015.
Effective 12/07/2015, SOMS will be in full control of all parolee information and will have acquired all existing systems interface from CalParole. At that time, SOMS will officially become the 'System of Record' and CalParole will be taken offline.
