Are you interested in balancing the presumption that "an individual is innocent until proven guilty" with the court's concern that the defendant will not endanger the public? The U.S. Pretrial Services Agency is situated at a crucial place in the federal criminal process---the very start! Pretrial Services Officers often are the first court representatives that individuals encounter after their arrest. It is this agency's mission to investigate defendants charged with federal crimes, recommend in a report to the court whether to release or detain these individuals pending trial, and supervise individuals who are released to the community while they await their day in court. Working with judges, attorneys, state and local law enforcement agencies, and treatment providers, the officer delivers services that benefit the court, community and the defendant.
