![]() ![]() ![]() Pre-Trial Release allows for certain low risk offenders to be placed on pre-trial supervision, rather than remain in jail because of their inability to post bail. This program was developed in 1992 to help address the problem of a large number of un-sentenced prisoners awaiting trial and disposition in the County Jail. Monitoring of behavior and community involvement, coupled with increased offender contact and frequent drug and alcohol testing, allows the DAPP Team to pro-actively address issues that may arise in the offender's life. The DAPP team maintains regular contact with the offender, employer, treatment providers, and family in an effort to promote a stable living and working environment for the offender. Offenders placed in this program are strictly monitored by the DAPP officer and must report on a weekly basis. The DAPP Probation Officer supervises the participant through the Electronic Monitoring and Intensive Supervision phases and also into the enhanced phase, if the recommended treatment programming is not complete by the end of the Intensive phase. The unique aspect of this program combines the efforts of a dedicated Drug and Alcohol Intensive Case Manager (ICM), a dedicated and experienced Probation Officer, and local treatment providers, into a single collaborative team that supports and monitors offenders in the community. IP sentences can include work release, electronic monitoring, intensive supervision, secure treatment facilities or any combination of these to satisfy the Restrictive Intermediate Punishment component. Participants must be assessed as drug or alcohol dependent and must receive and Intermediate Punishment Sentence to participate in the DAPP Program. The focus of this program is convicted, non-violent "A Level 3 and 4" offenses as defined by the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing.Įligibility for the DAPP Program is the same as that for the Electronic Monitoring Program. The Drug and Alcohol-Probation Partnership is relatively new program that was initiated at the end of 2009, with the help of the Drug and Alcohol Restrictive Intermediate Punishment Grant through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. ![]() Drug and Alcohol-Probation Partnership (DAPP) ![]()
