Meet Lindsey!

As our data coordinator, Lindsey works with Emily, our data analyst supervisor, to find, share, and explain criminal justice data for CJS. She also covers our social media pages and department invoicing.

In her free time, you can find Lindsey helping her dad move cows, searching for her next travel destination, or scheming for her next office prank.

Lindsey’s favorite part of her work is getting to give back to the community she grew up in. Being able to share and learn more about Lewis & Clark county’s criminal justice system has been her favorite part of the job.

We are so grateful to have Lindsey on the team and make sure you say hi if you see her in the office!

DATA DIVE
(Data pulled September 10th, 2026)

Our latest data snapshot looks at individuals held at the Lewis & Clark County Detention Center with Failure to Appear warrants. As of September 10, 2026, 11% of individuals in the detention center were being held with an FTA warrant.

We wanted to look into some reasons as to why individuals in our detention center may be failing to appear for their court dates:
- 74% are employed
- 68% reported at least one health concern
- 4 individuals reported disability

Missing court can happen for many reasons—including work conflicts or barriers related to physical or mental health. Understanding these circumstances is an important part of understanding our local justice system.
