9 <br /> At the conclusion of the interview, the Coordinator returns back to the office to prepare the <br /> reports, follow-up with family or requested phone calls to individuals who may be able to offer <br /> character information or provide bond for the individual. A small report is prepared that <br /> includes relevant prior arrest and/or pending court case information. At 2pm that afternoon, <br /> the Coordinator takes his place in court and provides updates after the assistant district <br /> attorney speaks regarding the case. The judge also will request additional information at times <br /> from the Coordinator or assign cases that might have been rejected initially for pretrial release. <br /> The remainder of the day continues with additional phone calls and support to the clients. <br /> Pretrial Services provides consultation with many social service applications, particularly, they <br /> provide a client assistance securing substance abuse rehabilitation as part of a condition of <br /> one's release. <br /> Given the small staff, the nature of the monitoring usually occurs through phone calls and <br /> attendance tracking (if certain meetings or programs are a condition of release). Each client has <br /> a set time and day to call (not all clients have to all in every day). If a client does not report to <br /> their said treatment classes or if they fail to report to Pretrial Services, then Pretrial Services <br /> will work with the courts to issue an arrest warrant for that individual for violating the terms <br /> and conditions of the pretrial release. <br />
