PRETRIAL BOOKING OPERATION
Pretrial Booking Officers are present in the Lucas County Corrections Center 24 hours per day to interview and make release eligibility recommendations and determinations on persons booked on traffic, misdemeanor, and felony charges.

                                            PRETRIAL DEFENDANT SUPERVISION
Pretrial Supervision Officers monitor and report to the court on individuals released on qualifying bonds. Supervision services include not only the tracking of defendants’ court dates and monitoring the defendants for compliance with the court’s orders relative to release, but also referral to substance abuse intervention services, community based mental health agencies, urinalysis testing, prohibitions against defendant contact with the victims of offenses, etc.
                                                        DIVERSION PROGRAM
The Pretrial Defendant Supervision section provides the requisite screening, recommending and supervising of defendants in the program. The program allows persons charged with certain felony offenses the opportunity to avoid conviction on the felony charge, upon satisfaction of certain special conditions. Among other requirements, eligible defendants are required to pay a program participation fee, must not have a significant prior criminal history, must not be drug or alcohol dependent, must fully restitute the victim of the offense and perform a specified number of hours of service to the community at large. 
                                                              
                                                             EXPUNGEMENT

                                               PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION
Presentence Investigation Reports are mandated by statute for all convicted felons, prior to sentencing. Investigative Probation Officers are assigned court referred cases, and perform an exhaustive background investigation for use by the Court at sentencing.
