Our Mission is to provide a pretrial service program which guarantees fairness and equal protection to all of our clients, to ensure the integrity of the judicial system, and to maintain public safety.

Our efficiency, task and the measure of our worth includes the following:

1. To interview all eligible arrestees and verify given information as best we can to establish community ties;

2. To provide complete, accurate and objective information to the court, making sure that nothing we state or submit is misleading;

3. To supervise pretrial defendants, ensuring their compliance with court ordered conditions, which are set to reduce the likelihood of failure to appear; and

4. To report violations to the Court and to facilitate returns for those who fail to appear.

In effect by O. R. Project policy, O. R. Employees shall treat clients, the public, members of other agencies with whom we interact, and each other with courtesy and respect.
