UPDATE by fLC fherriff'f Offiee-Trevor MorganEi on behalf of fheriff Mafcara~
Trevor Morganti reported the inmate population at 1239 with 23% mentally ill and the
female population was up by approximately 15 percent. He also announced the Drug Abuse
Summit of the Treasure Coast. The Summit is free and open to the public and is set to be held
on Friday, September 28, 2012. Commissioner Mowery asked about any issues regarding
Tropical Storm Isaac and Chief Wilson reported, they had their challenges throughout that
night and some early Tuesday morning but got through it.
UPDATE by Criminal JufEiee Coordinator- Mark Godwin:
Mark Godwin discussed the Monthly Average Daily Population Report. Due to questions that
arose last month regarding the statistics, Mark gave a short presentation and demonstrated
how to navigate on a website that provides this type of data. Please see the attached
handout on the St. Lucie County Criminal Justice Web Site. There is a public side with data
from the Sheriff's office and the Clerk's office. There is also a private side with data for
multiple programs, such as Mental Health Court and the Drug Lab.
Mr. Godwin announced that he will have a table set up at the Drug Abuse Summit to
promote the St. Lucie County Drug Screening Labs. The Fort Pierce Lab is now in a new larger
space within the courthouse and is fully operational after months of preparation. The Lab out
in Okeechobee is also doing well. Mr. Godwin estimated that the Pretrial Program has about
one hundred to one hundred and fifty cases. There is an emergency plan in place in the event
of a Hurricane or Tropical Storm that was experienced earlier in the week.
JUDICIAL UPDAiE~
Chief Judge Levin announced the new Judicial Assignments (please see attached). He spoke of
visiting a Veterans Court in Palm Beach County and the possibility of having one here. The
group had a brief discussion on the topic and exchanged some ideas of some form of services if
a Veterans Court was not feasible in this county.
OLD BUfINEff~ None
NEW BBfINEff~
Diamond announced a Life Builders of the Treasure Coast, Second Annual Golf Tournament
