| BACKGROUND: |
The Adult Post-Adjudicatory Drug Court Expansion Operations Program (Expansion Operations Program) is a continuation of the Adult Post-Adjudicatory Drug Court Expansion Program (Expansion Program). The Expansion Program terminated on June 30, 2013, and the Florida Legislature appropriated funds for the Expansion Operations Program July 1, 2013, to ensure that the program in Escambia County continues, and services remain available for, non-violent felony adult offenders deemed eligible to participate in the existing Expansion Program. The First Judicial Circuit continues to determine offender eligibility in accordance with state law and the number of participants admitted into the program are based on available resources. The Contractual Services Agreement for Adult Post-Ajudicatory Drug Court Expansion Operations in Escambia County, Florida was approved by the BCC on September 24, 2015.
The Expansion Operations Program targets prison bound non-violent, third-degree felony offenders to be sentenced to an Adult-Post Adjudicatory Drug Court. The OSCA will annually contract with the Grantee to provide fiscal services and ensure that substance abuse treatment, drug testing, and ancillary services are provided for offenders entering the Expansion Operations Program. |
