The Waukesha County Drug Treatment Court Program started with the help of a three-year, $350,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to serve non-violent, high-risk, drug dependent offenders . Entry into the Drug Treatment Court program is initiated through a binding plea agreement in a criminal case. The minimum duration of the program is 12 months, consisting of four intense phases requiring frequent, random drug and alcohol testing, 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. Upon successful completion of the Drug Treatment Court program and approval by the staffing team for graduation, the terms of the plea agreement will be executed. The mission of the Waukesha County Drug Treatment Court is to advance public safety, reduce crime, reduce costs to our community, and improve individual and community health by providing intensive, integrated, evidence-based court supervision and comprehensive treatment services for drug dependent offenders.

Pre-charge Diversion Program

Description: 
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.
