In 2008 the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) launched the Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative, and Outagamie County's criminal justice system was phased into that initiative in early 2015. Following completion of Phase V of the EBDM Initiative, it became clear that the state and local EBDM teams shared a similar goal to develop/expand their pretrial systems, resulting in launch of Wisconsin's Pretrial Pilot Project were launched. In 2017 Criminal Justice Treatment Services (CJTS) took over the operations of the Day Report Center from the contracted community provider and improved the program's functions to accommodate an evidence-based pretrial assessment and supervision program. Pretrial assessments were initially completed utilizing the Wisconsin Pretrial Risk II tool on all individuals in custody who are subject to a pretrial release/detention decision by a judicial officer. Outagamie County transitioned to the PSA in June 2019.
