Philosophy:


The Pretrial Services Office provides the judge with verified and reliable defendant information necessary to (1) make informed release or detention decisions; (2) reduce unnecessary detention; (3) provide the court with alternatives to detention; and (4) supervise persons released on pretrial services supervision.

Pretrial Services Officers (PSO) are officers of the Court and work for the Judge. They are not law enforcement agents or attorneys.
