Risk-Needs Assessment System Replacement

The Orange County Probation Department is seeking information from qualified vendors to replace its current Juvenile Risk Needs Instrument and Adult Risk Needs Instrument with modern, validated, evidence-based risk-needs assessment tools for both juvenile and adult probation populations. The desired system will provide assessment tools, reporting capabilities, integration with the County's current case management system, comprehensive training for staff, implementation services, and ongoing support. The system must comply with County IT and CJIS security requirements and allow the County full access to all raw assessment data for analytics and continuous quality improvement. Key objectives include improving predictive accuracy, supporting effective case planning, and aligning with modern evidence-based practices. • Validated assessment tools for juvenile and adult populations • Improved predictive validity, reliability, and consistency in assessment scoring • Support for case planning through domain-based and user-friendly reporting • Access to raw data for analytics and CQI • Integration with the department's case management system • Sustainable training, implementation, and support model • Alignment with the Risk-Needs-Responsivity framework
