Additionally, you will answer questions—over the phone, through email, and at the customer service counter—about pretrial release decisions, release statuses, court procedures, conditions of release, and future court appearances. You will interact with judges, court staff, law enforcement agencies, defense attorneys, district attorney staff, parole and probation officers, sheriff’s office and jail staff, other criminal justice and community partners, and the public.
