Pretrial Services Agency for the

District of Columbia

STATEMENT OF WORK

Intensive Outpatient Treatment Services 17 Aug 2021

1.0 Introduction

The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) is an independent entity within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) in the Executive Branch of the Federal government. PSA has served the District of Columbia for 50 years and is widely recognized as a leader in the pretrial field. PSA’s mission is to promote pretrial justice and enhance community safety. Our vision is to thrive as a leader within the justice system through a diverse, inclusive and empowered workforce that embodies integrity, excellence, accountability, and innovation in the delivery of the highest quality services.

PSA promotes community safety and return to court while honoring the constitutional presumption of innocence. The agency plays a vital role in the District of Columbia’s criminal justice system. PSA gathers and presents information about newly arrested defendants and about available release options for use by judicial officers in deciding what, if any, conditions are to be set for released defendants.

Additionally, PSA supervises defendants released from custody during the pretrial period by monitoring their compliance with conditions of release and by helping to ensure that they appear for scheduled court hearings. PSA supervision gives the defendants the opportunity to participate in a variety of pro-social interventions that decrease the likelihood of future criminal behavior. PSA was established by the National Capital Revitalization and Self- Government Improvement Act of 1997 and was certified as a federal agency under the Executive Branch in August 2000.
