Intake -- Court-Ordered Investigations

Looking for a form, a manual, or other Corrections resource? Our Resources page may have just what you need!

Intake provides investigative services and assessments to the court for clients not already supervised by an agent in Traditional Supervision or with a specialty supervision program (the Sex Offender Program, Intensive Supervision, Drug Court, or Domestic Violence Court).

Intake prepares reports to aid the court in arriving at the most appropriate sentence. They thoroughly evaluate the reasons for the client's court appearance, their prior legal history, and their personal background (including mental health, socialization, employment, education, financial status, peer associates, recreation, living situation, family history, drugs and alcohol, attitudes, and orientation). 

Victim considerations, prospects for safe release into the community, and probability of reappearance before the court also play a part in the process. Both punitive sanctions and therapeutic interventions are considered and recommendations made appropriately.

In addition to pre-sentence and post-sentence reports, the majority of bail studies, chemical use assessments, domestic abuse assessments, pre-plea sentencing guidelines worksheets, and restitution assessments are done by these agents
