The Waukesha County Alcohol Treatment Court is a post-conviction program that began in May 2006 with a federal grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and was the first OWI court in the state of Wisconsin. It began by serving offenders convicted of a 3rd OWI offense, but expanded in 2011 with another federal grant to also serve offenders convicted of a 4th OWI offense. The minimum duration of the program is 12 months, consisting of four intense phases requiring frequent, random drug and alcohol testing, Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM), substance abuse treatment, regular status hearings in front of the drug court judge, attendance at self-help meetings, frequent case management meetings, and other requirements.

180° Juvenile Diversion provides a valuable program opportunity for positive change in the lives of young adults who have had contact with law enforcement and the legal system. The agency offers a voluntary alternative to the criminal justice system for individuals ages 17-22, and their families. Through the completion of a strict 9-month program, young offenders will learn from their mistakes, make positive changes in their lives, and take responsibility for their actions. The program’s research-based approach is built on a foundation of family & community involvement, proven methods of diversion from across the U.S. and a solid network of city, county, state and national partnerships. The nine-month process includes: - 72 hours of evidence-driven curriculum and life-skills classes - A minimum of 40 hours of community service - Six months of case management - Professional guest speakers and advisers - Random Drug testing - Restorative justice, in which participants directly address those they have harmed by committing a crime If an agreement has been previously reached by the District Attorney’s Office and/or referring organization, formal charges may be reduced and/or dismissed. The young adults’ records remain clean and they are able to make a fresh start.
