Integrated Offender Management

Integrated Offender Management (IOM) is a coordinated approach used by local agencies—such as police, social services, and probation—to manage and rehabilitate offenders effectively. By sharing information and working together, these agencies aim to reduce repeat crimes, support offenders in changing their behavior, and improve community safety. IOM focuses on individual needs, addressing factors like substance abuse or housing, while monitoring progress through regular oversight. This collaborative strategy helps ensure a more efficient, targeted response to offending, benefiting both the individual involved and the wider community.
