Central Intake conducts pre-bail investigations of defendants charged with felony offenses. Background information is provided to both 68th District and 67th District Courts prior to arraignment. Program staff also monitor defendants who have supervised release as a condition of bond. Information regarding compliance with bond conditions is shared with the 7th Judicial Circuit Court, and Adult Probation prior to sentencing. Central Intake staff participate on the Jail Population Management Team in conjunction with the Genesee County Sheriff Department. Information is gathered by Central Intake which also assists the Defender Administrator in the appointment of attorneys.
Citizen's Probation Authority (CPA) CPA is a deferred prosecution program established to work with non-violent, first-time offenders. Program participants are screened by established referral policies and eligibility criteria developed through the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office of David Leyton. These policies and practices ensure an equitable diversion from prosecution for qualifying offenders. This correctional approach provides financial savings in law enforcement, prosecutorial and judicial time, appointed attorney costs, and jury fees. Participation is voluntary and for a period of up to one year. Individual treatment plans are developed for each offender. The treatment plans emphasize the utilization of community resources. If appropriate, restitution is collected and returned to victims. A probation service fee is assessed and returned to the County General Fund. Upon successful completion of the program, further prosecution is dismissed. CPA components include both adult and juvenile (Safety Net) divisions.
The Office of Community Corrections administers state corrections funding for Genesee County. The Department is housed within the office of the Board of Commissioners
