Pre-Trial Supervision Services: Monitor all conditions of release ordered by the Court. Pre-trial supervision may cover individuals referred by the Bail commission and placed in certain programs, electronic monitoring, substance testing, and reporting instructions. provide the Court with a progress report for each court appearance.
