Pretrial
Services
The Pretrial
Services Unit of the Criminal Law Division is located on the first
floor. The main responsibility of Pretrial Services is to
interview defendants arrested on felony charges. Interviews
are scored based on residency, length of time in the greater
Sacramento area, employment and criminal history. This
information is provided to the magistrate (judge on call) for
determination as to whether the defendant should be released on
his or her own recognizance. This unit operates seven days a
week, twenty-four hours a day.
