Evan C. Crist

Since earning his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver in 1996, Dr. Crist has been involved in corrections in a variety of settings and roles. He has been an adjunct professor for the University of Denver’s Forensic Studies Department where he taught “Evaluation and Treatment of the Adult Offender.” He has also been the jail psychologist at Arapahoe County Detention Facility and founded Correctional Psychology Associates, an offender treatment and consulting practice. In 2001, he founded Time to Change Community Corrections Program, currently serving over 250 residential and non-residential convicted felons in the Denver, Colorado area.

Shortly after the inception of Time to Change Community Corrections Program, Dr. Crist and his staff realized that much of the work associated with client supervision and treatment involved state regulations, compliance, paperwork and more “non-client focused” tasks. It was clear that some sort of automation was required to return to spending time with people rather than paper. Unable to find a product in the marketplace that integrated offender monitoring and case management functions, the Time to Change Community Corrections Program leadership team set out to develop a software solution that automated documentation and daily tasks. CorrectTech is the result of that endeavor based on the foundation work of EBP and decades of offender management experience.

A frequent speaker on various offender and corrections topics, Dr. Crist remains the Executive Director of Time to Change Community Corrections Program where new CorrectTech features and functionality are tested and perfected. His primary professional focus is helping corrections professionals understand and actually apply evidence based principles in their daily operations, especially with the efficiencies brought by technology.
