St. Croix County Sheriff's Office - Day Report Center Update Discussion was held on the recently opened St. Croix County Day Report Center (DRC). The main purpose of the DRC at this time is to monitor the conditions of people placed on bail/bond. District Attorney (DA) Michael Nieskes stated that not everyone who has violated the terms of their bail/bond has been charged with bail jumping. DA Nieskes stated the DRC is a work in progress and we are dealing with issues as they arise. One specific issue is when a defendant does not live in this area and is required to participate in random urinalysis testing (UAs). He stated this wouldn't be practical so it isn't being done. Discusssion was held on bonds in the past six weeks. Attorney John Kucinski asked why clients can't test in local police departments and in the past judges have ordered this. He also asked what funding is available right now to assist with the problems related to substance abuse. DA Nieskes stated that as far as he knows the New Richmond Police Department is the only agency doing UA testing for defendants and one purpose of testing is to help people stay sober. Attorney Kucinski asked about the protocols/matrix in other counties for bail conditions and the purpose of bond is to make sure a client shows up for court. Other DRC items discussed were requirements for address changes/updates and review mechanisms for increased testing. RESULT: DISCUSSED 5.
