"We had a good year last year, when you look at our success numbers," said Tracy Harris, Community Corrections director. "I attribute that a lot to the training we've been provided, along with our new philosophy and some changes made in the program." The 11th District, which serves Crawford, Cherokee and Labette counties, dealt with 104 case files in Fiscal Year 2008, according to the report. Of those, 75 were deemed successfully closed, or 72 percent, compared to 66 percent the year before.
