Pretrial Services
Pursuant to the Pretrial Services Act of 1982 (18 U.S.C. § 3152-3155), the Court
establishes an independent Pretrial Services Office for the District of Arizona.
Upon notification that a defendant has been arrested, pretrial service officers will
conduct a prerelease interview as soon as practicable. The judicial officer setting bail or
reviewing a bail determination shall receive and consider all reports submitted by pretrial
service officers.
A copy of the pretrial service report and all supplemental reports prepared by the
Pretrial Services Office shall be provided to and may be retained by the attorneys for the
accused and the Government, and shall be used only for the purpose of fixing conditions
of release, including bail determinations. When a copy is provided, it will have a header
on the first page advising the attorneys that (a) the report is not to be copied, (b) the
report is not a public record, and (c) that the content may not be disclosed to unauthorized
individuals. Otherwise, the reports shall remain confidential, as provided in 18 U.S.C. §
3153, subject to the expectations provided therein.
Pretrial service officers shall supervise persons released on bail at the discretion of
the judicial officer granting the release or modifications of the release.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
