The goal of this program is to reduce detention/incarceration in the Niagara County Jail by providing criminal court defendants the opportunity to participate in pretrial release services.

Another goal of this program is to lessen the burden on the local correctional facilities and to provide intervention services so that they may become productive members of the community. The Niagara County Pretrial Services Program works with the local courts to ensure that participants in the program have an opportunity to be rehabilitated.
