Statistics
The Kent County Office of Community Corrections department is responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to sentenced felony offenders, jail utilization and program performance. Specifically Kent County OCC gathers data related to the following items:
- Sentenced felony disposition and offender characteristics obtained from OMNI data submitted to the Kent County Office of Community Corrections from the 17th Circuit Court Probation Office
- Booking and other data including lengths of stay for offenders booked into the Kent County Correctional Facility
- OCC-funded program performance and utilization data
Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating this data to stakeholders in the criminal justice system and local community aids the development of sound criminal justice policy. The following information is available as an example of the data analysis that can be provided by Kent County OCC staff:
Kent County Felony Disposition (2005
through 2007) by Disposition Type:
The size of the sentenced felony offender population and dispositions received
in Kent County and the State of Michigan are illustrated in these two tables.

These three tables illustrate the differences between those offenders sentenced
for new felony offenses from 2005 through 2007 to dispositions involving
