Criminal Justice Commission Title: Commission of Public Safety Report to the Governor, December 30, 2011 Summary: On July 15, 2011 Governor Kitzhaber, by executive order (EO11-06), created the Commission on Public Safety to focus Oregon’s longterm planning efforts on sentencing and public safety as envisioned by the Reset Cabinet. Planning for the future was the purpose Governor Kitzhaber set for the Commission on Public Safety in his executive order: “In the 2011-13 biennium, Oregon faces a multibillion dollar deficit and substantial general fund cuts. In the midst of this economic crisis, we must take a strategic look at our sentencing policies. With limited dollars, we must ensure the public’s safety by making smart investments across our adult and juvenile justice system, including law enforcement, courts, local jails, state prisons, community corrections and other critical public safety partners.” The Governor asked the Commission to develop specific concepts on comprehensive public safety policy for consideration by the public and policy makers, informed by the recommendations of the Reset Cabinet. The charge asked the Commission to focus on four outcomes: The safety of our citizens in their homes and communities; Accountability for criminal offenses; An efficient system that controls costs; and A system that is smart and fair. The Governor made the Commission small and bipartisan. He directed that it consist of leaders from all three branches of government and the public. He gave the Commission a short, five-month time frame in which to work, to make clear the Commission’s purpose was to recommend the path for a broader discussion with all stakeholders before the 2013 legislative session. This report outlines the work of the Commission, identifies key findings, recommends future work, and establishes the principles to guide that work.
