Washington County Expands Pre-Trial Release Monitoring
(Hillsboro, OR) -- Washington County has received a 750-thousand dollar federal grant to improve the county's pre-trial release program. It follows the 2022 murder-suicide where a suspect on pre-trial release killed his wife and her sister. He was wearing a GPS tracker, but it wasn't being monitored after hours. The grant will allow 24/7 monitoring, creation of an new risk assessment tool, and a county-wide domestic violence training program.
