Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
					 Department shall utilize the Static-99R (Revised 11/2/16) risk assessment, which is
					 incorporated by reference, for adult male sex offenders. Any adult male sex offender
					 who is assessed with an above average risk or higher to commit a new sex offense
					 shall be designated as a High Risk Sex Offender (HRSO), as defined in Section
					 3580, for the purposes of residence
					 restrictions and supervision while on parole.
(b) The Department shall utilize the Female Sex
					 Offender Risk Assessment (FSORA) (05/23/2017), which is incorporated by reference,
					 for adult female sex offenders. Any adult female sex offender who is assessed with a
					 "Moderate Risk" or higher to commit a new sex offense shall be designated as a HRSO
					 for the purposes of residence restrictions and supervision while on
					 parole.
(c) The Department shall conduct
					 on-going supplemental risk assessments pursuant to sections
					 3573(d) and (e), which
					 are used for designing treatment programs and determining supervision levels for sex
					 offenders during their parole terms at the direction of the Director of DAPO or
					 their designee. These assessments are not for use in determining whether an offender
					 qualifies as a HRSO, but rather to determine the frequency of treatment and the
					 level of supervision needed for monitoring the sex offender while in the
					 community.
(d) The Department's
					 contracted sex offender treatment providers (whom are trained and certified pursuant
					 to PC section 290.09) shall utilize the supplemental
					 risk assessments Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) and
					 STABLE-2007/ACUTE-2007 pursuant to PC section
					 290.04, as supplemental risk
					 assessments to the Static-99R for adult male sex offenders. The LS/CMI will measure
					 risk of future violence of adult male sex offenders, and the STABLE-2007/ACUTE-2007
					 will measure dynamic (changing) risk factors of adult male sex offenders. The LS/CMI
					 and the STABLE-2007/ACUTE-2007 are used to assist in case management and treatment
					 planning.
(1) The LS/CMI and the
					 STABLE-2007/ACUTE-2007 are administered once the Static-99R has been completed. Upon
					 release to parole supervision the offender will be referred to one of the
					 Department's contracted sex offender treatment providers who will conduct a face to
					 face interview with the offender utilizing the risk assessments. Within 30 calendar
					 days of the referral, the sex offender treatment provider will complete the risk
					 assessments and provide the Department with the assessment scores. Thereafter, the
					 sex offender treatment provider will communicate monthly with the Department about
					 the offender's progress and risk assessment issues.
