Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

The Johnson County Veterans Treatment Court's mission is to identify veterans in the criminal justice system and, when eligible, get them into treatment and court supervision as an alternative to incarceration. The court offers two alternatives to jail time: a probation track through the District Court, supervised by Court Services, and a diversion track through the Johnson County District Attorney's office. These programmes allow eligible veterans to voluntarily participate in a twelve-to-eighteen-month programme of frequent court appearances, drug and alcohol testing at two times per week minimum, treatment, recovery support meetings, and a mentor programme with another veteran.
