The Dallas County Adult Drug Court has received a $149,982 grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) to continue its treatment programs.
The court was among two others to be part of a nearly $450,000 grant from ADECA. The Extended Family program and the Abbeville Police Department also received grants.
“The needs of our law enforcement community in Alabama are varied and diverse, but the goal is to prevent crime and ensure those who commit crimes are held accountable under the law,” said Gov. Kay Ivey. “I am pleased to award these funds that will support crime prevention programs and new equipment.”
The Dallas County Adult Drug Court is described as a "specialized treatment-oriented program" to keep non-violent offenders away from drug dependency and the prison system. It involves accountability, drug testing and counseling services.
“ADECA joins Gov. Ivey in support of these programs that all have the intended purpose to reduce crime and increase safety in these communities,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said.
