1 4. A history of violence or sex acts against children,
2 particularly involving strangers; or
3 5. Any other risk factor identified by the department.
4 (2) Recognizing that an offender having an extensive
5 criminal history and multiple risk factors may pose a serious
6 threat to the community, the department shall consider the
7 cumulative impact of these risk factors and, if necessary,
8 place an offender on a high level of supervision for the
9 offender until the situation stabilizes and the department no
10 longer believes that the offender poses a threat to others. In
11 providing such supervision, the department shall increase the
12 number of office and home visits conducted by the correctional
13 probation officer; expand the number of and type of
14 employment, family, community, and neighborhood contacts by
15 the correctional probation officer; increase voluntary
16 referrals to available community mental health facilities and
17 community assistance programs; develop emergency communication
18 plans for law enforcement agencies and the court in order to
19 quickly detain the offender in response to a violation; and
20 prioritize departmental resources in order to more closely
21 monitor the offender's activities in an effort to prevent
22 escalating criminal behavior.
23 (3) In providing criminal history and background
24 information to the court for these high-risk offenders, the
25 correctional probation officer shall provide in each report
26 submitted to the court and at each hearing before the court a
27 cumulative chronology of the offender's criminal history and
28 prior terms of state probation or community control, including
29 all substantive or technical violations of state probation or
30 community control. The
