For everyone interested in our efforts to implement a Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) here in Deschutes County, please take a look at the following OREGONLIVE link. Our colleagues in Multnomah County are very close to implementation of a veterans docket and Judge Vance D. Day and his team continue to do incredible work in Marion County’s VTC. Last month, Deschutes County was awarded the Veterans Treatment Court Planning Initiative grant; our team will begin training with Justice for Vets representatives in July 2014. The DA’s Office is humbled to be part of the esteemed group that is making the VTC concept a reality here in Oregon. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/01/special_court_for_military_vet.html
