Sauk County Justice, Diverison, and Support Mission Statement:

Sauk County Justice, Diversion, and Support is dedicated to building safer communities through innovative, evidence-based approaches to criminal justice. We respond to crime with balanced accountability measures while providing pathways for positive change.

By focusing on both immediate public safety needs and long-term community wellness, we foster environments where all residents can thrive and lead healthy, productive lives.

What programs are available under Justice, Diversion, and Support?

Sauk County Justice, Diversion, and Support consists of four active programs, Adult Treatment Court, Diversion, Supervision Agreement Program, Recovery Support Network, and Educational Navigator Program. 

Do you know someone who has pending criminal charges due to their addiction to drugs or alcohol? They may be appropriate for Adult Treatment Court.

Do you know someone that struggles with a substance use disorder, has little to no criminal history or has had a long period of time without new criminal charges? Then check out Diversion Supervision Agreement Program.

Do you know someone that is struggling with addiction and needs more support? Check out Recovery Support Network Program.

Have you or someone you know been involved with the criminal justice system and/or is low income and need help getting a GED/HSED? Check out Educational Navigator Program and contact Sasha Ripley for more information @ sasha.ripley@saukcountywi.gov.
