If you are arrested in Jefferson County, you will be interviewed by the Pretrial Officer Unit. (The Officer Unit is located in the Jefferson County Detention Facility at 200 Jefferson County Pkwy, Golden, CO 80401.) The Pretrial Officer Unit then writes a pretrial report about you, which includes such information as: your criminal history (if any), whether you are at risk of re-offending based on the Colorado Pretrial Risk Assessment Tool (CPAT), your mental health and physical health, whether you are a threat to public safety, any other information that the judge may find helpful when making an informed decision on whether to release you from jail. The judge will then decide whether to release you on bail or your own recognizance, and if so, whether to put you on pretrial services. If the judge does put you on pretrial services, you have only 24 hours after leaving jail to check in with the Pretrial Case Management Unit. To check in, call 303-271-6528 or use their online form to schedule your intake. The Unit can usually complete your intake the same day over the phone. You may get assigned a pretrial case manager, who will supervise your compliance with the bond conditions that the judge ordered. Your case manager will also provide referrals to any services providers you may need to remain compliant. Once your criminal case is resolved (either by a conviction, acquittal, or dismissal of charges), you will be removed from pretrial services.
