KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Kalamazoo County is relaunching its Veterans Treatment Court to help people with a variety of issues from homelessness, family troubles, mental health support, and drug and alcohol addiction.
Judge Becket Jones will preside over the court and says they need to involve people in structured treatment with community partners and that will lead to a smaller likelihood of recidivism.
Jones says the program is supported by the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office, public defenders, and veteran groups.
Kalamazoo County had Veterans Treatment Court starting in 2017, but it ended due to what Jones says were a set of factors.
