Lifting up areas in which Dane County is succeeding, in addition to targeting

areas for improvement

•

Collaboration on a press release when the official announcement of

participation is made by APPR

The workgroup on this initiative will regularly report to the Pretrial Services

Subcommittee, which in turn will report to the CJC twice a year.
