Training
Family Treatment Court Operational Tune-Up
This workshop is designed for adult drug court teams. Because the workshop is highly interactive and focuses on group decision-making and consensus, the training experience will be enhanced by the attendance of as many team members as possible. Through this training teams will:
• Learn the latest best practices and how they should be applied to your program
• Revise policies and practices relating to incentives and sanctions, target population, supervision, and drug testing
• Receive an update on pertinent case law.
The CACJ Rules, effective 7/1/20, require that all accountability court programs, with all core team members present, must attend tune-up or refresher training every three to five years. Programs should strive to attend every three years, but may attend every fourth or fifth year if attending every third year is not possible.
Absence from this training could impact a court’s certification status.
