Harrison County is the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, and its treatment court carries a veterans track. The judiciary's FY 2026 adult drug court map, revised April 15, 2026, lists "Harrison Co. ADC (19th) (VTC Track)" among the eleven drug courts statewide with a veterans treatment court track. The contacts page gives the Harrison County Adult Drug Court, established 2015: ADC Probation Officer Melanie Edmond, (304) 624-8698, [email protected]; ADC Judge Chris McCarthy, Circuit Judge. A veteran facing charges in Harrison County asks counsel or the coordinator about the veterans track. The track is part of the county's adult drug court, so eligibility is court-decided under the state's adult treatment court framework - minimum program length one year by statute - and there is no right to participate. The judiciary publishes no separate criteria for the track.
