BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:

The Board of County Commissioners approved the current pre-trial release decision making framework in March 2015. As a result of a recent study, validation of the local use of the Pre-trial Services Assessment (PSA) and work among CJS and local criminal justice partners, suggested revisions to the currrent decision making framework are now required so that local pre-trial release practice is more data driven and in-line with research findings.

 

The proposed revisions were presented to the BOCC at its Public Policy meeting on June 26, 2018.  Criminal Justice Services (CJS) and the local criminal justice partners designed a pre-trial decision making framework based on risk scoring with the adoption of the Public Safety Assessment (PSA) in 2014.
