CCAP, formerly Day Reporting, holds offenders accountable to a weekly itinerary directed at involving the offender in a continuum of structured programs. The goal of CCAP is to assist offenders in changing those behaviors that have contributed to their being charged with a crime. CCAP provides on-site services as well as referrals to community-based services. Random drug tests are conducted to monitor for illegal drug use and consumption of alcohol. Offenders participating in CCAP receive an individual needs assessment and are scheduled for a variety of programs. to top
Community Work Program (CWP)

CWP Administration is located in the Yesler Building, Room 420, Seattle map (external link)
CWP currently allows District Court to sentence offenders to work crews to perform supervised manual labor for various public service agencies. The program is designed to provide a diversion from jail for low-level, low-risk offenders and a visible restitution to the community. Offenders are sentenced directly to the CWP and may work off their fines, regain their driver’s license or complete the terms of their sentence. CWP projects typically include various types of landscaping, habitat restoration and invasive species removal. CWP crews function year round and offer services Monday through Saturday. to top
Electronic Home Detention (EHD)

EHD is located in Room 1028, on the tenth floor of the King County Courthouse, Seattle map (external link)
EHD allows offenders to serve all or some portion of their pre-trial and/or sentenced time at home. Offenders are monitored electronically and are confined to their homes, except when following a set schedule that may include attendance at work, school or treatment. To insure compliance the offender is equipped with an electronic bracelet in order to allow monitoring. The alternative uses an active electronic monitoring system that works with telephones using computerized random calling to the offender's residence. The Department is immediately alerted if the equipment has been tampered with or the offender is not within the required distance of the monitoring device. to top
