“Not awesome stuff to report, but there is good news for our community on the DUI front,” according to police.
These offenders and others can get help and stop the behavior through DUI Court at the city’s Kent Municipal Court. The program connects offenders with substance and mental health resources, while holding them accountable for their actions, according to police.
The program focuses on recovery through an intensive therapeutic court treatment program that has solid supervision. Participants connect with the treatment and resources they need so they can be healthy, thriving members of the community.
