Town of Marana Court
“CPSA provides a very valuable service to our Court by alerting us to defendants who have a mental health history, and helping them connect to appropriate services,
thereby helping this Court achieve its goal of treating every defendant
justly and fairly”-Hon. Charles Davies, Presiding Judge
![Page 30: CPSA Criminal Justice Team](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554c2dcdb4c90513198b4f38/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pima County Jail
“CPSA has provided an invaluable service to the Pima County Adult Detention Center, particularly in
providing a representative to Initial Appearance Court. This service has identified CPSA clients
allowing our medical contractor to quickly bridge medications needed by seriously mentally ill
inmates that have been arrested.
In addition to this they notify the CPSA Provider thus allowing release of these inmates to their provider
rather than remain in jail at taxpayer expense. Their service to us has not gone unnoticed
and their partnership is appreciated.”-Capt. Greg Gearhart, Division Commander
![Page 31: CPSA Criminal Justice Team](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554c2dcdb4c90513198b4f38/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Pima County Justice Court
“The Court relies heavily on CPSA as a liaison between the providers,
defendants, and the Court. CPSA provides the Court with information essential to
allowing me as the judge to make informed decisions regarding conditions of release as well as appropriate sentencing
and disposition.”-Hon. Susan Bacal, Presiding Judge MHC
![Page 32: CPSA Criminal Justice Team](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554c2dcdb4c90513198b4f38/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pima County Public Defenders
“We see CPSA as a valuable support, in helping us get the information we need to determining if a client would be eligible for Mental Health Court, in making us
aware of the various services available in the community, in mentoring our young
clients and in general, helping us navigate the various gaps in the system.”
-Nancy Coomer, Esq., Asst. Public Defender

new programs)
