The Division of Justice and Community Services shall:
(1) Require that staff of day reporting centers and other community corrections programs be trained in and use in each case a standardized risk and needs assessment as adopted by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. The results of all standardized risk and needs assessments are confidential;
(2) Annually conduct a validation study of inter-rater reliability and risk cut-off scores by population to ensure that the standardized risk and needs assessment is sufficiently predictive of the risk of reoffending;
(3) Annually review the membership of all community criminal justice boards to ensure appropriate membership;
(4) Evaluate the services, sanctions and programs provided by each community corrections program to ensure that they address criminogenic needs and are evidence based;
(5) Encourage community criminal justice boards to develop programs in addition to or in lieu of day report centers through grants and more focused use of day report services; and
(6) Annually report to the Community Corrections Subcommittee on the results of duties required by this section.
