JusticePoint reports full staffing, program expansions and grant submissions
Summary
JusticePoint told the council it is fully staffed, added a case manager Sept. 30, submitted a deflection grant, and is expanding outreach and jail programming amid email and reporting system interruptions.
JusticePoint staff reported on Oct. 8 that the program is fully staffed and that recent hires and training have expanded its capacity for pretrial supervision, diversion and treatment‑court services.
Staff said Danielle Church began her full caseload Sept. 30, which freed coordinator Rebecca Moser to focus on coordinator duties. Church completed AuraS (risk‑assessment) training on Sept. 25–26 and has taken on pretrial duties; staff said her training also allows her to manage diversion clients.
Reported program counts (overall numbers provided while staff worked to resolve a reporting system problem) included 96 pretrial clients, 14 diversion clients and seven in treatment court. JusticePoint staff said a recent software update limited their ability to pull detailed breakdowns and they have submitted a technical ticket to restore full reporting ahead of a quarterly report due Oct. 10.
Staff described a recent email delivery issue: JusticePoint said Sawyer County‑generated email had been held since Sept. 22 and only reached the team the previous Friday, creating a backlog of messages.
On grants and outreach, staff reported submitting a deflection grant (deadline Sept. 26) and said the county’s grants administrator indicated the submission went smoothly. Reaching Rural site visits were rescheduled to the week of Nov. 12; JusticePoint staff said the visit could assist with nursing and jail program expansion planning.
JusticePoint also gave an update on in‑jail and community programs: county literacy and GED classes (three times weekly; 11 writing foundations completions and seven math foundations completions), generational trauma programming (Oakwood Haven), Pathways Home, Parenting Inside Out (concluding soon), and planning for an eight‑week WeCope stress‑management program. Staff said there were 12 Bridal (sic) study programs and nine AA groups, on‑the‑job training through SEP and programming with House of Hope. There were no new updates reported for Building Bridges or COSUP; staff said no termination notices were received.
Staff asked council members not to share some draft outreach materials publicly until final review; flyers and social‑media posts are nearly ready and will include law‑enforcement participation at community deflection events.
No formal council action was taken on JusticePoint items during the Oct. 8 meeting.
