The Skagit County Community Court Program has continued to enhance their Program and has created initiatives that foster personal growth and accountability for their participants. The site takes on a problem-solving approach to crime by holding participants accountable and addressing factors that impact the participant’s overall behavior to increase public safety. One initiative that stands out is the creation of a cell-phone program, which allows participants to rent cell phones to connect with family, friends, and the case management team. The cellphones allow the case management team an opportunity to remind participants of their court dates, which increase the likelihood of program success. In September, the Skagit team attended the mentor court site visit at the Spokane Community Court Program and connected with justice partners to exchange ideas and foster collaboration and in October, the team attended the Washington State Association of Drug Court Professionals and Washington Association of Drug Courts training. The Center will continue to provide support by hosting quarterly meetings aimed to provide additional guidance and expertise throughout the enhancement process.
