If a defendant is held in custody, the Court may order a Bond Review. Bond Reviews (Investigation Summaries) provide the Judge with background information such as: residence, employment, education, prior criminal record, and social background information. The bond review information assists the Judge with determining what type of bond to set and which conditions to impose.

After being arrested, an individual is provided a bond hearing and at the hearing a judge can order a defendant to be monitored by Pretrial Services while awaiting trial, as a condition of his bond. If an individual is placed on pretrial supervision, he will be assigned to a Pretrial Specialist who will monitor his adherence to the conditions of bond that the Judge ordered and remind him of all court proceedings.

You will remain under pretrial supervision until you are sentenced or your case is dismissed. However, the Judge does have the authority to amend the bond not to include Pretrial Supervision at any stage of your case.

You are required to make weekly contact with Pretrial Services, unless otherwise ordered by the Judge.

The Judge is the only person who can modify conditions of bond.

If you violate conditions of bond, your bond can be revoked. If your bond is revoked, a warrant for your arrest will be issued.

You may contact Pretrial Services at (313) 224-5898. Our office is located in Room 931 of the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, 1441 St Antoine Street in Detroit, Michigan.
