What happens if a defendant violates conditions of release?

The responses to non-compliance will depend on the nature and frequency of the violation(s) and the additional risks presented by the non-compliance.   Depending on the circumstances, a defendant may receive verbal/written reprimand, a notification to the Court, modifications to the conditions of release, or revocation of pretrial release.  Typically, every effort is made to respond to the non-compliance in a manner focused on gaining compliance and addressing any correctional needs of the defendant in an effort to avoid revocation if possible.
