Mission
It is the objective of this unit to serve the victims of crime and all citizens of this county, by enforcing and maximizing the collections of court-ordered costs, fines, and restitution in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The never-ending pursuit of achieving the highest level of collections enhances the integrity of the courts, discourages non-compliance by defendants, and assists in restoring victims for the financial loss they suffered as an involuntary participant in the criminal justice system.
Goals
- Hold defendants accountable and increase the amount of restorative justice experienced by victims of crime through effective collection of fines, costs and victim restitution.
- Designate the establishment of offender's payment terms as a uniform, administrative process based on the defendant's ability to pay.
- Improve collections through consistent use of best practices, applied progressively to delinquent balances.
