Manukau/Papakura/Pukekohe Bail Support Services will continue their support and services, remotely.
The following arrangements for Bail Support Services are:
- Bail Information Report's (BIR): Attached is the required BSS address check form to fill out. If the defendant is able to provide contact details for the proposed occupant we can provide a BIR on the day. However, if there are no contact details provided, BSS are conducting letter drops in the community to establish contact with proposed occupants on a Monday and Thursday, therefore the BIR would be provided to the courts once the letter drop is completed, and the occupant makes contact with the BSO.
- Electronic Monitoring Bail Reports (EMBR): BSS will continue to process and complete EMBR's. BSS will rely on counsel/defendants being able to provide contact details at the application stage. However, if there are no contact details provided, BSS are conducting letter drops in the community to establish contact with proposed occupants on a Monday and Thursday, therefore once the occupant(s) makes contact, the BSO will progress with the EMBR assessment.
