National Drug Court Month / May 2012

On April 18, 2012, Chief Justice Canady and the Florida Supreme Court issued a proclamation acknowledging the continuing successes of the Florida drug court program.  Recognizing that drug courts combine mandatory substance abuse treatment, sanctions and incentives, and focused judicial supervision to break the cycle of drug addiction and associated crime, the Chief Justice proclaimed May, 2012, as National Drug Court Month.  The proclamation recognizes practitioners and participants who help reduce drug usage and crime and make drug courts work. 

Additionally, the Florida Governor and Cabinet issued a similar resolution.
