Yes. Earlier, for example, I mentioned a California study that showed a significant percentage of the time is spent on just reviewing the electronic monitoring reports and things like that. There are other studies suggesting that probation officers spend a lot of time on this kind of activity, so yes, you may have to hire more staff, because you need to dedicate them to it. In some situations you may have staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that staffing is on top of regular services.
