The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) today announced the implementation of the “Supervision Against Violent Engagement” (SAVE) program, which aims to increase public safety by reducing gun violence among individuals under parole supervision. The SAVE program, included within Governor Kathy Hochul’s 2023 State of the State proposal, will use enhanced supervision, intelligence and data gathering, and cross-jurisdictional cooperation to prevent gun violence and violent crime among the most high-risk releasees returning to the Cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and Rochester.
