12 Corrective Services jobs are to be cut in Dubbo when the Community Compliance and Monitoring Group (CCMG) office closes as part of a State-wide restructure by Corrective Services NSW. According to the Western Plains Community Union Alliance the job cuts will mean
high-risk offenders will no longer be supervised and monitored after business hours and on weekends. The CCMG currently monitors extreme high-risk offenders on Parole Orders and Good Behaviour Bonds such as murderers, sex offenders, offenders with links to Outlaw Motor Cycle Gangs (OMCG), offenders subject to electronic monitoring, offenders on Home Detention Orders as well as Intensive Corrections Orders.
Officers conduct unannounced home visits both during and after business hours (including weekends and public holidays), and urine drug tests and alcohol breath testing to ensure offenders comply with the conditions of their Orders.
