Pretrial Services is located on the 1st floor of the courthouse
In February of 2021 the Illinois Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law, PA 101-0652 (The “SAFE-T Act”), which contained the Pretrial Fairness Act. In an effort to support these efforts the Illinois Supreme Court created the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services to serve the People of Illinois by contributing to increased public safety and increasing equality in the pretrial stage of the criminal justice system.
Since its inception, the OSPS worked to establish quality pretrial services in counties where pretrial services did not exist. Presently, the OSPS is providing services in 70 counties.
