The 17th Judicial District's chief judge runs a veterans treatment court under C.R.S. 13-5-144; see the Colorado entry for how these courts work. The Judicial Branch's problem-solving court directory lists the 17th Judicial District Veteran's Treatment Court for Adams and Broomfield Counties, and the Branch's 2026 overview of the district counts it among the district's specialty courts, which run through partnerships with local and State agencies. Who. Neither the directory nor the overview sets out eligibility, and the district has no public page for the court; the Judicial Branch's Adams County problem-solving courts page answers "Access denied". Ask the coordinator, Beatrice Walsh ([email protected], 303-654-3298), or the lead peer mentor coordinator, Leslie Cuoco ([email protected], 303-654-3297), whether a case can be referred. A defence lawyer can raise a referral. The Division of Criminal Justice's court program locations page, re-read on 2026-10-23, lists the court under both Adams and Broomfield, at 1100 Judicial Center Drive, Brighton, with the district's adult drug (recovery) court.
