Enhanced DMC Technical Assistance Project (DMC-TAP)

Funds made available through this program support probation departments in understanding and identifying DMC in hopes of better equipping these agencies with the tools and resources needed to provide leadership in developing and/or strengthening community-based DMC reduction activities. A total of $2.625 million is available over the course of three years for the following five counties to participate in the project: Contra Costa, San Diego, Los Angeles, Alameda and Santa Cruz.  This pioneering approach is comprised of three phases whereby the 2nd phase commenced January 2008.

Process Evaluation
The purpose of the process evaluation is to assist the CSA in planning future DMC activities by identifying the operational strengths and limitations of the first two phases of the Enhanced DMC-TAP, both of which represent a pioneering approach to addressing DMC.  The CSA is interested in learning what worked and what did not by understanding the environments in which required activities were implemented, the processes used to implement these activities, and the impact of program fidelity/operations on desired outcomes. The process evaluation design addresses these stated goals and includes the five counties participating in the first and second phases of the Enhanced DMC TAP.  As a result of a competitive Request for Proposal process, Mark Morris and Associates was selected as the process evaluator and in January 2008, evaluation activities commenced.
