Judge Hendee outlines Treatment Court program funded by TAD grant; committee urged to orient new supervisors
Summary
Judge Hendee described the county’s TAD‑funded Treatment Court as an 18–24 month, five‑phase program of testing, treatment and daily check‑ins that can lead to graduation; Alice Schlotte shared recidivism data and a supervisor requested orientation for new board members.
Judge Hendee updated the Marquette County Judicial & Public Safety Committee on Feb. 3 about the county’s Treatment Court, which the judge said is funded through a TAD grant and runs 18–24 months in five phases. The program requires participants to undergo testing, treatment and daily check‑ins; those who complete the five phases may graduate from the program.
Judge Hendee told the committee that coordination with law enforcement is a key element of the program. Committee member Judi Nigbor asked that newly elected county board supervisors receive education about Treatment Court so they understand its structure and participant requirements. Alice Schlotte presented a court calendar and shared three‑year recidivism rates with the committee.
The committee received the update but took no formal action at the meeting. Funding for Treatment Court was described as coming from a TAD grant; the judge did not propose new local funding at this meeting and the committee did not adopt programmatic changes on the record.
