Updates
This page provides updates on the rollout and maintenance of the Minnesota Pretrial Evaluation Form and Assessment Tool - Revised (MNPAT-R).
The Minnesota Judicial Council approved a revised pretrial risk assessment tool and form at the January 2023 meeting based on the validation study’s results and recommendation from the MNPAT Validation Committee. The new tool went into effect on January 1, 2024. An Implementation Committee was engaged to help coordinate the new tool’s education, training, and rollout. For more information and questions about the MNPAT-R, please contact your Implementation Committee representative.
The MNPAT-R User Guide was updated January 22, 2024 with more detailed instructions on listing criminal conviction history, bench warrant history, and refused/unknown fields. MNPAT-R materials and resources, including recorded on-demand training and translated questionnaires, are now available on the Resources tab. The translated MNPAT-R Questionnaires are available in the following languages: Amharic, Arabic, Hmong, Karen, Oromo, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
July 10, 2024 - Updates made to the MNPAT-R User Guide and Template Training PowerPoint on Scoring the MNPAT-R to reflect recent statute numbering correction for “obscene or harassing telephone calls” on the “Targeted Misdemeanor List” (Minn. Stat. § 299C.10, subd. 1(e)). These materials can be found on the Resources tab.
