Mission of Pretrial Services

To provide essential information to assist judicial officers in making appropriate release decisions and in determining reasonable alternatives to incarceration, thereby reducing the costs of detention. By providing effective pre-trial supervision and services to releases, the Pretrial Office is committed to minimizing the dual risks of non-appearance and of danger to our community.
