To directly access Department of Public Safety criminal history information regarding each in-custody defendant under consideration for release prior to initial appearance.  

To appropriately consider the purpose of bail and the constitutional guarantees afforded the accused when recommending conditions or combinations of conditions designed to ensure appearance while reducing risk of re-offense for all in-custody defendants.
