Why People Miss Their Court Date
Most failures to appear are due to forgetfulness or circumstances beyond a defendant's control, and not for criminal or evasive intentions.
- Lack of information about the court date.
- Unable to take time off work.
- Court notice mailed to an outdated address.
- Unable to find child care.
- Due to unforeseeable events.
Consequences of Failure to Appear
Missing a court date has a cascading impact on our communities.
Failure to appear is the primary driver of bench warrants being issued.
Bench warrants cost communities and court systems time and money.
Enforcement of bench warrants adds additional costs and diverts resources.
Jailing those unable to pay costs communities many times over the cost of helping defendants avoid bench warrants with timely and meaningful communications.
