Ind. Courts - Porter County eyeing juvenile drug court
Bob Kasarda reports today in the NWI Times that begins:
VALPARAISO | County officials are considering starting a juvenile version of the successful adult drug court program.Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary Harper said funding has been located for training, but many questions and challenges remain.
Among the top concerns is how to fund the effort.
Grant money has been shrinking, which is both jeopardizing and forcing changes among the four existing juvenile drug court programs in the state, said Kathy Timberlake, drug court coordinator in Tippecanoe County.
