DSNetwork
DSNetwork Logo:  Navigating Detention Services

A concept was envisioned within OFDT to create a full-service, automated system for procuring detention services and for reporting Quality Assurance Reviews. To that end, a strategy was outlined and, in 2006, OFDT launched the Detention Services Network (DSNetwork)

Concept

Taking advantage of the demand for e-governing capabilities, the OFDT DSNetwork is designed to be a multifaceted, full-service Internet site to meet all detention services needs. The centralized system addresses the procurement of private detention services and state and local intergovernmental agreements, shows the results of Quality Assurance Reviews, and offers customized search capabilities. The goals are to significantly improve the interaction between government agencies and service providers and to reduce lengthy and cumbersome workloads required for locating, procuring, and monitoring detention services. DSNetwork will facilitate this goal by transitioning paper-based processing to electronic processing.
