Our Services
In cooperation with treatment agencies and other professionals, we have
developed and are supervising comprehensive probation programs for the
following offenses:
- Alcohol Intoxication
- Individuals are referred to their choice of a local treatment agency
for an alcohol evaluation. Any recommended treatment is then followed through completion
and release by agency. An individual not required to undergo any long-term treatment
is often referred to a set nuymber of AA meetings and KAP monitors their attendance.
- DUI
- All DUI offenders are provided with a listing
of the local DUI treatment agencies. Once the agency is selected
KAP monitors their participation through completion so their license can be reinstated. Any DUI 1st offender interested in obtaining
a Hardship License is provided with all the requirements and assistance in
filling out both the Application for Hardship and the Order. These are returned
to the courts for KAP for review and approval based on the courts' procedural preference.
- No auto insurance
- KAP monitors individuals referred for driving
without auto insurance for a period of 12 months. Defendants need to provide
KAP with proof of insurance containing the name and phone number of
their local insurance agency. Agencies are contacted once each month to insure ongoing
coverage. If at any time insurance is cancelled individuals are returned to court for review.
- Shoplifting
- In many areas that KAP serves
classes/counseling are provided for individuals charded with Theft by Unlawful Taking. Frequently
these individuals have an underlying drug/alcohol abuse problem that needs to be addressed
before he theft practice can be eliminated. This is evaluated and the proper treatment monitored.
- Theft by deception
- When individuals have written bad checks,
they are usually unable to pay them in full at the time of their court appearance. KAP will establish a payment plan agter contact with
the victim(s) and a determination is made of the total amount to
be repaid. Offenders are then required to bring into KAP a set amount
in money orders that are then forwareded to the victim(s) until all monies are repaid.
- Sexual offenders
- These defendants are referred to area counselors for
evaluation and recommendation for treatment. This treatment is monitored until completion and release from counseling.
- Domestic violence and assault
- KAP works directly with state-mandated
local domestic violence programs. We provide offenders with a list of the local State Certified
Providers for them to make their choice. A referral is then forwarded
to the selected agency and treatment is monitored through completion. If at any
time individuals discontinue dreatment, their case is returned to the court for an immediate review.
- Drug possession and other related
offenses
- Defendants are referred to a local
alcohol/drug treatment agency for an evaluation and completion of any
recommended treatment. Their progress is monitored until release
from selected agency. Frequently, individuals convicted of
posession of drugs are ordered to have random drug screens. KAP provides random drug screens
with results in 5 to
8 minutes. If the test is positive it is then sent to
a certified lab for verification. When a screen comes back positve these individuals
are generally returned to the courts as violating the terms of their release or probation.
- Restitution repayment
coordination
- Child support collection coordination
In addition, Kentucky Alternative Programs will monitor all offenders
regardless of offense as assigned by the court.
We at Kentucky Alternative Programs are
committed to serving all probationers assigned to us by the courts,
regardless of their ability to pay.
Many times probationers of limited financial resources
require significant supervision and evaluation. Kentucky Alternative
Programs can provide for these probationers so long as our case load is an
accurate reflection of the distribution of total cases that move through
the court. |
