2. Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) 2022 Grant Request
Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, discussed the competitive 2022-2027 Treatment
Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) Grant that should be released in July or August of 2021.
He states this will be a very competitive process for a defined amount of funding from
the WI Department of Justice. O'Keefe states most of WI counties will probably apply for
some type of funding during this process and we should look for ways to make our
application stand out from others. Judge Needham states we should form a workgroup
to come up with ideas to make our application for the 2022 TAD Grant innovative and
results oriented. O'Keefe discussed incorporating the Public Safety Assessment (PSA) into
our current justice system model. Judge Needham states that the TAD Grant Workgroup
should take a look at the entire justice system and make recommendations for
improvement as we move forward with the application process.
