The mission of the Statewide Office Operations Network (SOON) is to:

Promote uniformity, standardization and data integrity in community corrections field office operations and automated offender tracking;

Define on-going support training needs;

Recommend community corrections field office policy and procedure changes; and

Address other corrections-related support issues.

SOON accomplishes this mission by increasing knowledge and awareness of the most up-to-date methods, sharing resource information and expertise, and promoting statewide support staff participation.

SOON was formed following the implementation of the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) Offender Profile System in November 1989. This group gives clerical staff a means of communicating their needs to the information systems unit staff responsible for maintaining existing software and implementing new software.
