This effort is designed to strengthen the county's capacity to universally screen, assess, and promptly connect individuals to appropriate, evidence-based interventions that address each individual's criminogenic risk factors and clinical needs, consistent with the evidence-based practices outlined in all rise's adult treatment court best practice standards. These interventions include treatment courts, diversion programs, pretrial supervision, and other supportive services. In 2025, all rise and kenosha county achieved several major milestones. The partnership established universal risk and needs screening for criminal defendants and developed individualized treatment and supervision plans informed by validated risk-need assessments. The district attorney and public defender formalized collaboration through a memorandum of understanding. Key stakeholders, including the judge, prosecutor, probation officers, public defender, jail staff, and treatment providers, convened to initiate data collection, define emergency clinical protocols, and build the infrastructure for continuous quality improvement. The team also completed an evaluation plan, updated the system map to incorporate new screening and assessment processes, and identified strategic priorities for the coming year. Caj staff are also developing technical assistance tools informed by lessons learned through this collaboration. These resources will serve as a model for jurisdictions nationwide seeking to implement universal risk and needs screening and assessment practices.bja comprehensive opioid, stimulant, and other substance use program (cossup) (navajo county cope program-nctaa): all rise's center for advancing justice (caj) received a subaward from navajo county, Arizona, to help plan and implement the county overdose prevention and engagement (cope) program.
