Groups in Tacoma closely watch felony court cases, monitoring if repeat offenders get released to pretrial services.During the month of June, the Tacoma Business Council is working to monitor felony criminal cases in Pierce County."It’s the repeat offenders that consistently get chances to be released to pretrial services, violate pretrial services, commit more crimes and nothing is being done," said Courtney Wimer.

Wimer is the president of the Washington State Bail Association and manages All City Bail Bonds in Tacoma. "I’ve seen everything from violent felonies down to property crime released from pretrial services. I do believe some of the violent crimes being released are not supposed to be," she said. She says she is documenting what the prosecutor asks for, the type of information the prosecutor provides to the judge , and what the judges decide in the cases.
