The PSA Implementation Guides are designed to help criminal justice professionals successfully incorporate the PSA into a jurisdiction’s pretrial systems. The guides and their supporting resources will enable local leaders and their implementation teams to plan, integrate, test and launch the PSA with fidelity and to do so efficiently and logically.

Many of the resources must be modified to account for local terminology and jurisdiction-specific circumstances.

The guides include comprehensive training materials to assist jurisdictions in preparing local staff to complete the PSA, introducing the PSA to a range of local stakeholders, and thinking through the possible changes resulting from a pretrial risk assessment.

Individuals responsible for implementing the PSA in their jurisdiction should review all these materials carefully and share them with implementation team members as necessary.

All guides are available as web pages or for download as PDF files. The resources supporting each guide are available for download, individually or combined with each guide in a single file.
