Court Services

Court Services provides pretrial release options for defendants, diverting people from jail to more productive support programs.

Diversion programs save taxpayers on jail costs and provide better outcomes for people in the criminal justice process. In many cases, Court Services reunifies families, which can be severely impacted when a member is serving a jail sentence.
