The purpose of the Mental Health Unit is to serve as a link between defendants with diagnosed mental illness and community mental health resources in an effort to assist these defendants in being stable in the community while awaiting the disposition of their criminal case. If it is determined that the defendant already has the links to needed services, the defendant may be assigned to another unit.

The purpose of the Electronic Monitoring Unit is to monitor a population of higher-risk defendants who have been ordered by the courts to wear an electronic monitoring device. These devices are a means of providing an extra layer of security for the community and assurance that the defendant will return to court. Devices include Radio Frequency Electronic Monitoring (RF-EM), a house arrest style bracelet and Global Positional System Electronic Monitoring (GPS), and a tracking device capable of determining the exact location where a defendant has been.
