CPAT Validation Project

Collaboration between the University of Northern Colorado and seven (7) Pretrial Services programs in Colorado – Boulder, Denver, Garfield, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo and Weld

The CPAT Validation Project validated the CPAT in its current form.

 Project leads, Dr. Victoria Terranova and Dr. Kyle Ward’s research retroactively validated the current CPAT indicating the tool is working well; however, suggested that its predictive performance might be improved since its original inception.  In the project’s next phase, a modified CPAT will be piloted in the seven (7) participating counties.  The final phase will be implementing a revised CPAT, training and judicial education.

What is working ?

 Increased movement towards and acceptance on the use of pretrial risk assessment  Data availability / informed stakeholder discussions  Pretrial Services program collaborations  Local innovations

What could be improved?

 Preventive Detention  Pretrial Assessment and Supervision Services in rural areas  Training, Training, and more Training  Continued reliance on charge-based financial bail/bond schedules  Lack of consistency ($ amounts) of bail/bond schedules  Treatment for defendants

Thank you.
