| Grant Application #2012-61 UT Dept of Justice for Funding for DUI Drug Court | Jim Kelly, Davis County Attorney Office, presented grant application #2012-61 to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The funding is being requested for the DUI Drug Court. In the past, the county has pursued funding through the Utah Department of Public Safety but that funding source is no longer available. Davis County is requesting Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program Funds in the amount of $200,000 to enhance the current Adult Felon DUI Court to assist non-violent offenders with successful rehabilitation from the use of drugs and/or alcohol. The primary goal is to terminate the DUI behavior of twenty new non-violent felony DUI offenders each year. The goal is to reduce the recidivism rate of this population and allow the offender to return to a more meaningful and productive lifestyle. A felony DUI charge results when a defendant has three DUI convictions within a ten-year time period. As this third conviction is a felony, it is adjudicated through the 2nd District Court. The Felony DUI Court program is managed through the Davis County Attorney’s Office, all felony DUI offenders can be referred to the program for screening and evaluation and admission to the program. In evaluating these non-violent felony DUI offenders, it was determined that a number of this population differed from the “traditional” Drug Court client in that on average they are older, more established and socially stable, employed, and generally have a better support system. In their own minds, they are not of the criminal “bent” of those with drug addiction. Through a partnership with the criminal justice system and the treatment community, treatment intervention will be structured around the authority and personal involvement of a single Felony DUI Court Judge. This court creates a non-adversarial courtroom atmosphere where the Judge and a dedicated team of court officers and staff work towards the common goal. Trackers monitor the activities of the individuals and individuals must report to the judge weekly. 80 – 85% of the individuals who commit to the program complete it. The program is effective as a cost reduction and reduces recidivism. If the grant is received the local match is $66,667.00. Commissioner Downs made a motion to approve. Commissioner Petroff seconded the motion. All voted aye. Document on file in the office of the Davis County Clerk/Auditor. The commissioners thanked Jim Kelly and Teresa Kendell for their work with the program and the Mental Health Court. Steve Rawlings, Davis County Clerk/Auditor, stated the program does save money. |
