In 2017 SCDPPPS was granted statutory authorization to hire a new staff position. Offender Supervision Specialists (OSS), are non-Class 1 staff members who monitor low level offenders for a team of Class 1 law enforcement certified Agents, and handle non-law enforcement duties associated with these offenders.

The monitoring duties conducted by OSS staff include reviewing supervision reports, financial reports and arrest records. OSS staff are not assigned high level or sex offender cases. (Offender supervision levels are determined by a risk and needs assessment survey administered to offenders.)   

OSS staff experience minimum contact with offenders in the SCDPPPS County Offices. Class 1 Agents continue to address and handle all offender violations. OSS do not perform face-to-face contacts with offenders in the field, do not issue or serve legal process and do not transport offenders. OSS staff do, however, attend the SCDPPPS 3-week Basic Training to learn basic supervision skills. OSS staff also receive office safety training.
