O.R. - Cases are presented to the Bail Commissioner for pretrial release daily. Releases take place some time after 7:00pm.

S.O.R. - When placed on Supervised O.R. it is the defendant's responsibility to keep in contact with the O. R. Project as ordered by the Court until the case is resolved. Failure to comply with a court order may result in O.R. status revocation and the defendant could be remanded into custody by the Court.

Attorney Requests - Defendants who have been denied release at arraignment may be considered for release at a future court date. For the O.R. Project to present a case in court, an attorney must make a request at least 48 hours in advance of the desired date and have the defendant call the O.R. Project.

Surrenders - With certain charges, a person may clear an outstanding District Attorney's warrant through the O. R. Project process. A pre-approved O.R. release allows the defendant to self-surrender and avoid overnight jail detention. Unless otherwise arranged, court is always the following business day.

Court Reminder Calls - The O.R. Project attempts to call 24 to 48 hours in advance of a court date to remind defendants to appear in court.

F.T.A.'s - It is important to make all court appearances. If you find you will be late, call the O.R. Project immediately. If you cannot make your court appearance, call your attorney who may be able to appear for you. If you fail to appear without making arrangements, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. Call the O.R. project as soon as possible for instructions on how to add back to calendar and clear a bench warrant.
