The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585) to the County of Albany, Wyoming. The grant funding will allow the Albany County Court Supervised Treatment Program (ACCSTP) to implement an adult diversion program called the Community Diversion Program (CDP). The CDP will serve as an alternative sentencing option through pre-plea diversion for individuals charged with misdemeanor offenses in Albany County Circuit Court and Laramie Municipal Court. Program services will include case management, substance abuse and mental health evaluations and treatment, drug testing, and restorative justice opportunities. The primary goals are to improve public safety, reduce crime, and increase access to services for justice-engaged individuals in Albany County, a rural community facing challenges with substance abuse and limited treatment resources.
