Stacy Goss, Director

The Office of Pretrial Services was established in 1971. Its mission is to provide information to the criminal courts that facilitates the release and detention decision-making process at the earliest opportunity. Their efforts are intended to promote equitable treatment of the accused, provide protections for the community, meet statutory requirements, and reduce custody costs. The Office is organized into three basic service divisions:

• Jail Division - interviews felony arrestees in order to recommend individuals who can be released from custody on their own recognizance,
• Court Division - presents information and recommendations to the court regarding own recognizance release and/or possible bail adjustments,
• Supervision Division - provides supervision throughout the court process of all individuals who have been released on Supervised Own Recognizance.

• Jail Division
  The Jail Division staff interview all defendants booked on new felony charges for the purpose of recommending those individuals who can be released from custody on their own recognizance (O.R.), who are likely to appear in court as directed and who will not compromise public safety.
