The Nassau County Pretrial Release Program is an Alternative to Incarceration program that is operated by the Nassau County Probation Department and is designed to provide the court with a pretrial release information and RUS services as an alternative to detention. The interview process objectively assesses the defendant's qualifications for release through release on his/her own recognizance (ROR), or, where the court determines the risk of absconding to be greater, through release under supervision (RUS). Program operations include screening, eligibility determinations, notification and monitoring functions, where appropriate, and court notification of those who fail to satisfy release requirements.
