Mission Statement and Values
The D.C. Pretrial Services Agency honors the Constitutional presumption of innocence and enhances public safety by formulating recommendations that support the least restrictive and most effective non-financial release determinations, and by providing community supervision for defendants that promotes court appearance and public safety and addresses social issues that contribute to crime. The following core beliefs and values guide PSA in carrying out its day-to-day activites in support of its misson: • The Constitutional presumption of innocence of each pretrial defendant should lead to: least restrictive release in the community consistent with public safety and return to court; preventive detention only as a last resort based on a judicial determination of the risk of non-appearance at court and /or dangerousness to any person or to the community. • Non-financial conditional release, based on the history, characteristics, and reliability of the defendant, is more effective than financial release conditions. Reliance on money bail discriminates against indigent defendants and cannot effectively address the need for release conditions to protect the public. • Pro-social interventions that address substance abuse, employment, housing, medical, educational, and mental health issues afford defendants the opportunity for personal improvement and decrease the likelihood of criminal behavior. • Innovation and the development of human captial leads to organizational excellence, high professional and ethical standards, and accountability to the public. |
