PSA Operating Status
PSA supervision and drug testing offices will remain OPEN for business during a Federal Government shutdown and defendants should continue to report for scheduled supervision and drug testing appointments and group sessions. However, many PSA administrative and support offices will be operating with significantly reduced staff.
PSA gathers and presents information about newly arrested defendants that assists judicial officers in deciding what, if any, release conditions should be imposed and subsequently supervised for compliance by PSA. PSA utilizes a risk-based supervision model and employs risk-mitigation interventions designed to minimize re-arrest and maximize court appearance.
