I've been asked what is VTAK..
Neighbors to the north of us, Waukegan in Lake County, have
a program called VTAC (Veterans Treatment and Assistance Court). Veterans charged with non-violent offenses
that are probationable are eligible for VTAC.
This program is a way to keep veterans out of the regular court system
and connect them with treatment. If
he/she successfully complies with conditions VTEC imposes, such as completing
substance abuse treatment, the case can be dismissed. We have become a part of their graduation
ceremony..They have 6 graduating in April.
