Statistics

Kent County Office of Community Corrections (OCC) staff are responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to those sentenced for felony offenses and program performance. More specifically, Kent County OCC gathers data related to the following items:

  • Disposition and characteristics of those sentenced for felony offenses obtained from OMNI data submitted to OCC staff by 17th Circuit Court Probation staff

Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating this data to stakeholders in the criminal justice system and local community aids in the development of sound criminal justice policy as well as assisting stakeholders with their own grant work and other initiatives.
