Operational Procedures

■ The Forensic Coordinator, under the supervision of the CTP Administrator, will ensure that

an evaluation by a Forensic Psychologist is completed annually under section 4247. The

report is submitted to the court of commitment. In addition, counsel for the inmate or his/her

legal guardian may, at any time during the commitment (except 180 days directly after a

court determination that the person should continue to be committed), file with the court that

ordered the commitment a motion for a hearing to determine whether he/she should be

discharged. This filing would necessitate either an evaluation or an addendum to a prior

evaluation that was completed within a reasonable time frame.

■ The Forensic Coordinator, under the supervision of the CTP Administrator, coordinates,

assigns, and tracks annual reviews.

■ The annual report conforms to the requirements of both legal and professional standards for

the evaluation of sexually dangerous individuals.

■ The annual report should contain the opinion of the evaluator concerning the need for

continued treatment.
