The Sheriff's Transition and Reentry Team (S.T.A.R.T.) opened its doors in February of 2020. Operating Monday through Friday, the services provided and the amount of justice involved individuals who utilize the Resource Center's services continue to increase. The team utilizes Correctional Counselors to interview inmates upon incarceration, assessing their needs both while incarcerated and post incarceration, and making the necessary referrals. Needs such as substance abuse treatment, education, job assistance, DSS assistance, identification issues, transportation, food, housing, and clothing are all then addressed and then Community Correction Officers work to establish a discharge plan for the individual's successful reentry into the community.
