The Community Advisory Board (CAB) on Public Safety Realignment is composed of twelve (12) Voting Members and three (3) Alternate Members. Currently, the CAB has eight (8) Voting Members, with four (4) vacant Voting Member seats and three (3) vacant Alternate Member seats.

 

At the CAB General Meeting on March 12, 2026, the Board approved four (4) voting members and one (1) alternate member to move forward to the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) for final approval.

 

Subsequently, the CAB Leadership Committee conducted an additional recruitment process to fill the two (2) remaining vacancies for alternate membership. Applications were accepted on an ongoing basis, reviewed on Friday, March 27, 2026, and interviews were conducted from Wednesday, April 1, through Thursday, April 2, 2026.

 

Referral History and Update:

 

All submitted applications were reviewed using a standardized scoring template developed to support the recruitment process and ensure fairness and transparency. The scoring criteria evaluated applicants based on community connection, relevant and lived experience, demonstrated interest and commitment, and clarity of written responses in alignment with the CAB’s mission.

The Leadership Committee independently reviewed and scored each application. Scores were compiled to determine overall applicant ranking and alignment with current CAB membership needs. Based on this evaluation process, applicants who met or exceeded the established criteria were identified and invited to participate in structured interviews conducted by the Leadership Committee.

A total of four (4) applications were reviewed.  Two (2) individuals were invited to advance to the interview phase. Interviews were conducted using consistent questions aligned with CAB membership criteria, and interview feedback was incorporated into the final recommendation.

Following the interview process, the CAB Leadership Committee developed a list of applicants for consideration by the full Board before moving forward to the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) for final approval.

A summary of the recommended applicants is presented below.
