Drug Court Statistics



Florida's Critical Performance Indicators and Data Elements


The purpose of developing performance indicators is for drug courts to have the ability to provide research based indicators to supplement program evaluations. It is critical for drug courts to capture performance indicators to demonstrate the effects of the drug court on the clients and community served. It is essential to recognize the importance for drug courts in Florida to document performance indicators that can be compiled and compared statewide. These indicators are not the only indicators that may document program outcomes; however, it is recommended that these proposed indicators be captured at a minimum by all drug courts in Florida.
