The 2027 TAD grant application process provides applicants with the option of applying under one or more of four categories. This memo provides details on the four categories of funding. Furthermore, this memo describes the Pre -Application stage for interested grant applicants to complete. Accompanying this memo is the TAD Pre-Application Form, which interested applicants must complete to identify which categories they plan to apply for when submitting their final TAD Grant Application this fall. Note that the information being requested in the Pre -Application Form does not constitute the final, full application. Instead, this information will help guide staff in determining the number of TAD grant applications and the amount of grant funds under each category that counties and tribes will be eligible to apply for under each category when completing the final, full application. Eligibility for Funding and Pre-Application Process All counties and tribes across Wisconsin, including those who did not receive a 2026 TAD grant award, are eligible to apply for TAD grant awards covering the period January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027. (See Appendix A, for a list of 2026 TAD grant award recipient counties and tribes and grant amounts for each county). For programs that are 2026 TAD funded sites and who are requesting an award in 2027, the amount listed is the maximum amount you should request under Category #1. Agencies may request a lower amount if their Pre-Application program review shows reduced funding needs. TAD grant funds are available to support treatment court and diversion programs that meet the requirements listed under § 165.95, Wis. Stats., including (but not limited to) the following: Page 17 of 56 WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 17 W. Main Street • P.O. Box 7857 • Madison, WI 53707-7857 • (608) 266-8800 • FAX: (608) 266-7869 https;//www.wisdoj.gov 2 STATE OF WISCONSIN (DIVISION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES) Mark Rather , Administrator • TAD award funds will be used to supplement, not supplant, planned or allocated funds. • All TAD-funded programs must comply with evolving state and national standards pertaining to the operation of treatment courts or diversion programs as those standards are finalized and released statewide or nationally. • TAD grantees must comply with all reporting, data collection, evaluation requirements, and necessary CORE and data training, as determined by the Bureau of Justice Programs ( BJP) and the Bureau of Justice Information and Analysis (BJIA). • All counties and tribes receiving a TAD grant shall create a criminal justice oversight committee or coordinating council (CJCC) to advise their agency in administering and evaluating its treatment court or diversion programs. • TAD-funded programs cannot prohibit a participant from beginning or continuing using medication assisted treatment that is approved by the federal food and drug administration for the treatment of their substance use disorder. Funding Categories Only Wisconsin counties and tribes are eligible to apply through this pre -application process. Counties and tribes are eligible for funding under one or more of the following four categories. Category #1: Implemented Programs (Existing CY2026 TAD-funded Programs) Implementation grants are available to jurisdictions that have an established CJCC in place and are seeking funding to maintain operations of an existing TAD-funded program or programs. All funded programs must be evidence-based diversion programs or treatment court programs that are designed to meet the statutory requirements of the TAD program. DOJ tentatively projects allocating up to $9,688,900 in TAD funds to cover existing TAD funded programs. This projection is based upon the level of spending of existing sites over the last three years, caps on the amount of funds used to attend in-person training, and program performance considerations. Category #2: New Program (Diversion or Treatment Court) New Program grants are available for counties/tribes in the initial planning stages of implementing a new evidence-based program, designed to meet the statutory requirements of the TAD program. This category is designed for jurisdictions that: (1) may already have a formal CJCC in place and receive TAD funding for one or more programs and are looking to implement a new treatment court or diversion program, or (2) may not yet operate a TAD funded program. In the latter instance, the jurisdiction may not yet have a formalized CJCC in place or is in the early stages of forming a CJCC. If jurisdictions currently only have an informal group of criminal justice professionals but are working to formalize a CJCC and implement Page 18 of 56 WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 17 W. Main Street • P.O. Box 7857 • Madison, WI 53707-7857 • (608) 266-8800 • FAX: (608) 266-7869 https;//www.wisdoj.gov 3 STATE OF WISCONSIN (DIVISION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES) Mark Rather , Administrator programming, they may still apply under this category. However, these counties/tribes will be required to form a CJCC by the start of the second year of operations. DOJ tentatively projects allocating up to $500,000 in TAD funds sufficient to support multiple new programs. The purpose of this category is to provide an initial planning stage of six months in the first year of TAD funding to allow sufficient time for jurisdictions to prepare and implement a new program . Jurisdictions applying under this category will be expected to implement the program by June 30, 2027, and will be fully operational by the end of the first year of the TAD Grant cycle on December 31, 2027. Please Note: Prior to program implementation, counties/tribes in this category must submit the following documentation and receive approval from DOJ to begin admitting participants. a. Project Design Table b. Policy and Procedure Manual c. Participant Agreement or Contract d. Participant Handbook Category #3: Expansion or E nhancement Funds (Diversion or Treatment Court) Expansion or enhancement funds are available to jurisdictions that have an established CJCC in place with a fully operational program that received TAD funds in 2026 and are seeking funding to support program expansion or enhancement efforts. Proposed program expansions or enhancement s must be additional costs and services for 2027 that are not funded by any other sources, including county/tribal budgets and insurance providers. Grant funds cannot be used for any positions, supplies, services, or costs that are already part of the county/tribal budget or that could be billed to either BadgerCare or private insurance. Grant funding is intended to expand the program or to improve or enhance the current program and cover expenses for which there is currently no funding. Jurisdictions applying under this category must incorporate evidence-based principles and should outline in the justification one or more of the following reasons for requested funding: • Expanding or enhancing program and/or staff services • Expanding or enhancing participant services DOJ tentatively projects allocating up to $300,000 under this category, sufficient to support multiple enhancement/expansion projects. Category #4: Implemented Program–Non-TAD Funded in CY2026 (Diversion or Treatment Court) Implementation grants are available to jurisdictions that have an established CJCC in place and are seeking funding to continue existing program(s) previously funded with other sources such as expiring federal grants. All funded programs must be evidence-based diversion programs or treatment court programs that are designed to meet the statutory requirements of the TAD Grant program. (Review the TAD Pre-Application Guidance Memo and the TAD Statute § 165.95. Wis. Statute). DOJ tentatively projects allocating up to $200,000 under this category, sufficient to support multiple programs. The Page 19 of 56 WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 17 W. Main Street • P.O.

A clear understanding of key performance indicators, benchmarks, and effective methods for communicating program outcomes is essential for setting annual goals, identifying training needs, and supporting long‑term program sustainability. Because evaluation is a core component of program quality and accountability, the Wisconsin DOJ is requesting information on three performance measures: screening and assessment (risk level served), in‑program recidivism, and graduation/completion rate. Please review the instructions provided for each measure and submit the requested data or enter data. Screening and Assessment (risk level served) - For each TAD‑funded program, submit three individual CORE Admission Summary reports, with one report dedicated to each calendar year: 2023, 2024, and 2025. See below instructions on how to run a CORE Admission Summary report. Instructions: 1. Log into CORE 2. Click on the “Reports” subtitle and ensure the correct program is selected from the dropdown at the top of the screen. 3. Click on “Program Admission Summary” 4. Select Admission Summary Parameter • Data range: 1/1/2023 – 12/31/2023 & 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 & 1/1/2025 – 12/31/2025 • Status: Active, Graduated, Pending Discharge, Terminated, Administrative Discharge, Inactive, Transfer • Funding Sources: Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) 5. Click “submit” and choose PDF for viewing. 6. Attach Admission Summary(ies) when emailing the Pre-application Form. In-Program Recidivism – Please calculate in-program recidivism for active participants in CY 2023, CY2024, and CY 2025. See below instructions on how to run a data extract from CORE in order to obtain this data. Instructions: 1. Log into CORE 2. Click on the “CORE Data Extract” subtitle 3. Check “In-Program Recidivism” under the Progress Updates section 4. Click “Submit” and open the downloaded file 5. Transform the data within Excel following Steps 1-6 of the “CORE Data Extract Transformation Guide” under the “Resources” subtitle in CORE 6. Filter Column J (Offense Date) by the specific year(s) being examined 7. Every row makes up one in-program recidivism event – they can then be tallied by year. a. Be aware that a participant may have multiple recidivism events, potentially across different years, and we are requesting the number of participants that had at least one event in a given year - only count a participant once per year (using Participant ID in Column A). If there are too many events in a given year to determine repeat participants by sight, perform Steps 1-6 on pages 4-6 of the “CORE Data Extract Transformation Guide” ("Filtering by Unique Instances") on Column A in order to remove any potential multiple events from the same participant(s).

Page 40 of 56 May 13th, 2026 To Whom It May Concern: The Sawyer County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council supports the diversion and recovery court efforts within Sawyer County, and has supported the application for Treatment Alternatives and Diversion Program (TAD) grants. The CJCC acts as the primary oversight body for the Sawyer County TAD grant and programs. The subsequent awarding and receipt of grants funds is absolutely necessary to support our efforts. The treatment and diversion programs are needed in the Sawyer County community, where the drug overdose mortality rate is 31.3 per 100,000 residents and the percentage of vehicle crashes related to alcohol use is 12.6, double the rate for the State of Wisconsin. These programs are needed to literally save lives in our community. Diversion programs and Treatment Courts allow law enforcement, probation, treatment providers, human services, and the court system to work together to provide comprehensive services to participants. This collaborative approach in both programs allows participants to have immediate sanctions and positive reinforcement. Sawyer County also has a collaborative approach in working with the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) tribe. The LCO Reservation, located mostly in Sawyer County, has 7,275 tribal members. Members of the tribe hold positions on the CJCC. LCO also has a Tribal Healing to Wellness Court, which has been an asset to the community and one we expanded with the diversion and recovery court programs. For these reasons, we have supported the annual applications to the Department of Justice and hope that future applications will be awarded. Attached are the members of the Sawyer County Criminal Justice Collaborating Council.

This meeting provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing staff to share information, determine the most appropriate level of care, and assign responsibility for outreach to the referred client or family. Ongoing collaboration with Caitlan Myren of Northland Counseling continues to be an integral component of service coordination. This partnership is particularly valuable when discussing clients who are transitioning from higher levels of care, such as hospitalization, or preparing for discharge from treatment facilities. This consistent coordination has proven effective in supporting continuity of care and ensuring that both current and prospective clients are connected to appropriate services through Sawyer County Health and Human Services. Supervisor Carlson, Joe Bodo, and Alison Carlson met with a regional DQA surveyor on 04/22/2026 to obtain guidance regarding re- cent changes impacting administrative codes for certified programs, including Chapter 75.15 (Intervention Services), Chapter 36 (Com- prehensive Community Services), and Chapter 35 (Outpatient Mental Health). During the meeting, the team discussed documentation practices following implementation of the Patagonia EHR system last year. As not all required forms are currently housed within the EHR, clarification was sought regarding the use of a hybrid file system. The DQA surveyor confirmed that maintaining a hybrid model—utilizing both electronic records and paper files—is acceptable. It was also noted that many counties are currently operating under similar practices, with certain documentation maintained within their EHR systems and other materials retained in physical files. This guidance will assist the team in preparing for upcoming program reviews and ensur- ing compliance with applicable administrative standards. CCS Program (Comprehensive Community Services) Service Director Carlson continues to address ongoing barriers related to reinstating the CCS Program in Sawyer County and has been receiving continued guidance from Taylor County’s CCS Administrator. A joint meeting between Sawyer and Taylor Counties is scheduled for May 6, 2026, to review and collaborate on any updates to documentation, billing processes, and service delivery. Alison Carlson has successfully completed the initial 30 hours of required CCS training and will begin the second phase, consisting of an additional 20 hours. Upon completion, she will be rostered as Sawyer County’s CCS Service Facilitator. The anticipated completion date for all required training is mid-May 2026. Due to Joe Bodo’s retirement in 2024 and subsequent return to Sawyer County in 2026, he is required to undergo recredentialing as a Medicaid provider prior to billing for any services, including CCS and outpatient services. Until this process is complete, he is unable to provide billable services. Currently, CCS referrals are being managed by directing prospective clients to outpatient services as an interim support. Once Alison’s training is complete and Joe’s Medicaid provider status is reinstated, the team will begin conducting functional screens to determine CCS eligibility for referred clients. The ongoing collaborative support provided by the Division of Care and Treatment Services (DCTS), the Department of Health Services (DHS), and Taylor County has played a critical role in Sawyer County’s successful transition to future certification of employees. Their guidance included clarifying regulatory requirements, offering technical assistance, and sharing best practices to ensure Sawyer County’s operations align with updated state and federal standards. This partnership has facilitated timely resolution of compliance issues and improved staff training resources. By leveraging the expertise and resources provided by DCTS, DHS, and Taylor County, alongside the knowledge of experienced, long-standing county employees already providing Comprehensive Community Services (CCS), the Sawyer County CCS Program is optimally positioned to implement evidence-based practices, ensure regulatory compliance, and continuously improve service delivery. This collaborative approach supports the county’s commitment to providing safe, effective, and accessible care to its residents. Intoxicated Driver Program Assessor Bodo has successfully completed four OWI assessments this month without issue, despite recent staffing changes. Alison Carlson observed one of these assessments with prior client consent, as she plans to complete OWI Assessor Training once she meets the necessary prerequisites. This hands-on experience is expected to be beneficial in supporting her understanding of the assessment process. Page 50 of 56 The Department of Transportation (DOT) has resumed its monthly meetings, with the first session held on 04/28/2026. During this meeting, participants were informed of upcoming changes to the reporting system anticipated in 2027. Assessor Bodo and Supervisor Carlson will be reviewing and updating current policies and procedures in preparation for the program’s bi-annual recertification, ex- pected to occur this fall. CST Program (Coordinated Services Teams) Currently, there are six clients enrolled in the program, with no discharges and no referrals during this reporting period. Our next CST quarterly meeting will be held virtually on June 10, 2026. Respectfully, Alicia D.
