Information For Pretrial Services
Pretrial services professionals work to provide courts with essential information and to ensure that each person receives the support they need to succeed on pretrial release.
| Pretrial services professionals serve as liaisons between the court and people accused of crimes. They often prepare pretrial assessment reports that help court officials make critical decisions about each case, and they may supervise and support people on pretrial release to help them return to court and remain law-abiding. A well-functioning pretrial services agency plays a central role in a fair and effective pretrial system. |
