V. Reports
1. Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) Mapping – August 13 and August 14, 2026
There are two dates scheduled in August to assemble all the key players to complete
a Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) Mapping. SIM Mapping identifies what is
currently in place now as a County related to individuals with mental health and
Alcohol and drug related health issues, where the County is lacking for services, and
developing an action plan around the key intercepts.
2. Program Updates:
Recovery Court: Tiffany Berg reviewed the annual metrics: 24 referrals;
14 ineligible/withdrawn; 10 admissions; 8 graduations; 3 terminations.
Primary drug used amongst referrals is Methamphetamine. Statistics
show the majority of those who start the program graduate successfully.
78% of graduates have not recidivated three years post-graduation. The
team is brainstorming ways to increase referrals. Berg and Rose Baier will
be presenting at the Wisconsin Annual Treatment Court Professional
Training in April related to the Multi-Track Drug Court model with
Outagamie County.
First Time Offender/Worthless Check Diversion Programs: Kayce
Lawcewicz reviewed the annual metrics: 184 referrals; 135 completions
(in progress); $28,348.37 in restitution collected since 2015; underage
drinking is the most referred offense; 95% recidivism success rate after
one year; 2025 Diversions included 149 ordinances, 48 misdemeanors,
and 1 felony. Worthless Checks: 4 referrals; 1 successful completion;
$2,515.22 paid to merchants.
Front-End Intervention Treatment Program: Lawcewicz reviewed the
annual metrics: 45 referrals (10 total referrals in 2024); 18 admissions; 3
graduations; 2 terminations. Currently there are 19 active participants and
1 intake which is the highest number of active participants since 2018.
Pre-Trial Program: Kaitlin Horstman reviewed the annual metrics: 423
Pretrial Assessments were completed on 365 individuals; 311 participants
are Preliminary Release Level 1 or Level 4; Outcomes: 57 Failure to Appear,
56 New Criminal Activity, 7 New Violent Criminal Activity, 107 Violent
Offenses (12 Violent Offenses in 2024); 409 Warrants Issued. Baier
reported they are in the middle of an audit for their NCIC/CIB criminal
history access. This happens every three years and this is their first audit.
Re-Entry Program: There is a two-session class held at the jail as a
precursor for re-entry services. These are going well. The Pathway Home 6
program is now available to inmates who are sentenced to jail with a
minimum of 21 days remaining in their sentence. CJS partners with the jail
to facilitate referrals to this program.

The first annual Cornhole Tournament fundraiser was a success and the amount of
funds raised was around $7,500. Baier reported they were very thankful for the
support of the local business community and board members for this event.
4. State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Grant Updates
Overwhelmingly positive feedback was received from Stanley Prison after they
utilized the MILO Simulator for training. Requests continue to come in to use the
simulator for additional trainings.
