Morano asks what public safety outcomes should improve in a year

Thank you.

And as always, we look forward to your support.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Councilmember Morano.

I don't necessarily have anything else.

Just the one– I'll ask one– make one comment and I'll ask one other question.

I recognize that we want to focus on the statistics over the last nine months because that's a reflection of what you're doing.

But I also think–

for some of the reasons my colleagues have alluded to, it's also important to look back and see what the differences were based on before you guys took over as compared to now.

I'll ask one final question.

Your testimony did focus on what's working internally.

at the Department of Probation.

I think that's important.

If we're sitting here a year from now, what specific public safety outcomes should New Yorkers expect to have improved as a result of the organizational changes that you guys have made?

Will we see fewer rearrests, fewer violent offenses committed by individuals under supervision, better compliance among high-risk probationers, something else?

When we do this a year from now, what can we go back and look at as a measure of the department's success?

I think you answered the question.

Well, anything I'm missing?

One of the things I think I really want to look at, too, is how program is informing our outcomes in terms of changing the lives of our clients.

So I would add that to the list.
