PURPOSE/SCOPE:

Drug Court takes place in a non-adversarial setting and is not intended
to establish guilt or innocence, but to provide expedient and supervised
involvement in community treatment. With that in mind, the purpose of
the Drug Court Team is to assist participants to make a successful
transition to the community. The professionals assigned to this team
must understand and accept this approach. Typically, the Drug Court Team
consists of a judge, prosecutor, public defender, drug court
coordinator, participant supervisor and treatment liaison.

The following individuals comprise the Drug Court Team:
