BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Martin County’s Public Safety Coordinating Council met with representatives from St. Lucie County’s Pretrial Release Program to discuss St. Lucie County’s Program and the implementation of such a program in Martin County. St. Lucie County’s program has successfully operated for many years and provides enhanced supervision and availability of GPS electronic monitoring awaiting disposition of criminal charges. The Public Safety Council unanimously voted to recommend transmittal of the pretrial release program to the Board of County Commissioners. Martin County Sheriff’s staff continued discussions with St. Lucie County and developed a proposed Interlocal Agreement which provides for the implementation by St. Lucie County’s pretrial release program of a pretrial release program for pretrial defendants in Martin County for one year. The Sheriff will administer the program with St. Lucie County staff. At the conclusion of the year it is our Sheriff’s intent to run the program in house. A copy of the Sheriff’s letter requesting Board approval is attached.
