Job Description

The Multnomah County Circuit Court is hiring a Release Assistance Officer. In this role, you will determine defendants’ eligibility for court appointed counsel and options for pretrial release by applying Oregon laws, Chief Justice orders, and Presiding Judge orders and using risk assessment tools such as the Public Safety Assessment. You will determine who, upon release, is most likely to appear in court, is unlikely to commit new offenses, and does not pose a threat to the community or themselves. You will also monitor conditions of release and determine whether those conditions are being met. Your work will focus on interviewing defendants being held in custody, pre-arraignment, as well as victims and other interested parties for purposes of determining risk and recommending release decisions. You will use internal law enforcement, jail, and court case management systems to research and complete risk assessments and determine release eligibility, then communicate that to defendants as part of the pretrial process. You may also be required to testify in court about your decisions and recommendations. Additionally, you will perform administrative and computer work related to pretrial release and indigent verification. You will prepare new files, review court orders, and respond to questions from judges, court staff, and the public regarding pretrial release and court appointed counsel. The support you provide will be in person at the work counter, over the phone, and in writing. You will also coordinate with the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s office, the Department of Community Justice, and judicial officers to process probable cause affidavits and ensure that statutory and constitutional timeframes are met. Assigned tasks may be changed to accommodate workload and organizational needs. This position has been identified as providing essential services during an official closure due to hazardous environmental conditions or an inoperable facility. Based on this status, you may be required to report as normally scheduled, either remotely or on-site, during such an event.

By applying, you consent to your information being transmitted by Jooble to the Employer, as data controller, through the Employer’s data processor SonicJobs.
