Public Safety Risk Assessment Software
Create risk assessments for pretrial release using the Public Safety Assessment by Arnold Ventures.
What is the Public Safety Assessment (PSA)?
The Public Safety Assessment (PSA) is an actuarial assessment created by Arnold Ventures that estimates failure to appear in court pretrial, new criminal arrest while on pretrial release, and new violent criminal arrest while on pretrial release.
Use of the PSA, in combination with other pretrial improvements, is associated with improved outcomes such as higher rates of pretrial release and reduced use of financial conditions of release. These outcomes do not negatively impact crime or court appearance rates.

Real-Time Data Analysis
Generate and analyze risk assessment data in real-time to make informed decisions quickly.
eCourtDate supports auto-population and/or manual entry for all factors. Authorized staff can use a pre-filled PSA form with available data to reduce time and mitigate mistakes.
The PSA uses different factors to predict three pretrial outcomes: Failure to Appear (FTA), New Criminal Arrest (NCA), and New Violent Criminal Arrest (NVCA). All scores are generated based on the factors and cannot be modified or manually calculated in eCourtDate.
There is no additional cost to generate PSA reports in eCourtDate.
The PSA considers 9 factors:
Age at current arrest
Current violent offense
Pending charge at the time of arrest
Prior misdemeanor conviction
Prior felony conviction
Prior violent conviction
Prior failure to appear in the past 2 years
Prior failure to appear older than 2 years
Prior sentence to incarceration
