REPORT ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RENDERED TO THE VENTURA COUNTY (CA)MARSHAL'S OFFICE TO DETERMINE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEDURES USED FOR SCREENING DEFENDANTS FOR RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE (OR) IN THE COUNTY COURTS.

Abstract

THE REPORT REVIEWS THE VENTURA COUNTY OR PROGRAM FROM TWO ASPECTS - HOW PRESENT OPERATIONS MIGHT BE AMENDED TO PROVIDE MORE THOROUGH INFORMATION TO THE COURTS AND HOW THE PRESENT PROGRAM MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVES IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY EXAMINING EACH FACET OF THE PROGRAM AND INTERVIEWING COURT PERSONNEL. RECOMMENDATIONS WERE MADE CONCERNING ARRESTEE INTERVIEWS, FILING WRITTEN REPORTS, DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE RELEASE OPTIONS, EXPANDING PRESENT SERVICES, AND REVISING RECORD KEEPING. FORMS AND PROCEDURES FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHICH COULD BE ADAPTED FOR THE VENTURA COUNTY PROGRAM ARE INCLUDED IN APPENDIXES....EB
