• By improving efficiency.
    • Every day a misdemeanor defendant spends in jail awaiting a court hearing costs
      the county $45–$50.
    • We can use our existing technology to streamline how we handle cases. Less paperwork means we can handle more cases more quickly.
    • We need to clear the backlog of cases still waiting to be filed.
  • By working together with law enforcement agencies.
    • The team approach is best. We can reduce the time between arrests and filing of cases.
  • By reducing the number of “tag-along” cases.
    • Many felony arrests also have misdemeanor arrests associated with them. Every time we file one of these misdemeanors, may cost the county up to $1,500.
