The Solano County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this
week to join the CSAC-Results First partnership to create a
baseline for their criminal justice programs and engage in
evidenced-based practices. CSAC partnered with The Pew-MacArthur
Results First Initiative in 2015 in an effort to support county
leaders as they engage in evidence-based policy making that seeks
to invest in programs that will produce the best outcomes for
residents and the highest rate of return on the counties’
investments.
Since then, we have expanded to Santa Clara, Ventura, Nevada and
now Solano counties. Solano County is the second county to be
fully supported by CSAC through the CSAC technical assistance
hub. The Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative is a joint
project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It is a capacity-building
initiative to provide jurisdictions with tools to make informed,
data-driven decisions.
CSAC is enthusiastic to expand the technical assistance to other
counties. If you are interested in learning more about the
CSAC-Results First partnership, please contact our Program
Coordinator Amalia Mejia at amejia@counties.org.
