Abstract
The current study aimed to enhance the understanding of how law enforcement agencies collaborate with parole agencies and how they view police-parole partnerships. The data were collected through a state-wide survey of all sheriffs’ offices and a random sample of municipal police departments in Texas, the state with the nation’s largest parole population. The primary research question focused on identifying (1) empirically derived and meaningful patterns of police-parole partnerships and (2) the predictors of the perception among law enforcement agencies with regard to partnerships with parole agencies. The main finding was that police agencies who valued partnerships with parole agencies tended to already be involved in collaborations with parole agencies and had an organizational culture which supported working with other agencies.
