A Kentucky Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report (PSI) is a directive issued by a court in the state of Kentucky that requires a probation officer to conduct an investigation into a defendant's background and to prepare a report for the court. The purpose of the PSI is to provide the court with a comprehensive assessment of the defendant's history, criminal record, social background, and other factors relevant to sentencing. The report is meant to assist the court in making a decision regarding the appropriate sentence for the defendant. The Kentucky Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report comes in two forms: the Kentucky Standard PSI and the Kentucky Enhanced PSI. The Kentucky Standard PSI requires the probation officer to conduct a standard investigation, which includes a review of the defendant's criminal history, background, and any other relevant information. The Kentucky Enhanced PSI requires the probation officer to conduct a more in-depth investigation, which includes interviews with the defendant, family members, employers, and other individuals with knowledge of the defendant's background. Both types of PSI must be completed within 45 days of the court's order and submitted to the court for review. The court will then consider the findings of the report and make a determination regarding the appropriate sentence for the defendant.
