Overview

Mission

To educate practitioners and the general public about pretrial services. To promote and diseminate research and to act as a forum for new ideas

What it reported doing in 2024

Annual Conference: The NAPSA Annual Conference and Training Institute features over 60 instructional workshops. The workshops, combined with lessons learned in the plenary sessions provide participants the opportunity to review the foundations of pretrial justice, learn the latest research findings and discover new programs and evidence based practices from others working in the field. The conference offered nationally renowned scholars, practitioners and presenters to deliver information to elevate the national discussion of the need for pretrial services and the incredible work done by pretrial professionals at the local, state and federal levels

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
