Hello, we had a unique ask from our courts and we were curious if any other agencies have been asked to do anything like this.
Our Veterans Court asked if we could do a sort of STS/Community Work Service for those in Veterans Court who have not been compliant with the courts. They ultimately want to be able to put some sanctions on a person and have them come in and do like 4 - 8 hours of some sort of manual work with the hopes that this would get the person to fall back in line with what the courts want them doing.
We currently have an inside the jail STS program for inmates who are sentenced and already in custody. At one time we had an outside STS crew, but we ended that years ago. So, we were just curious if anyone else has had this type of request made before, and if so, how did you handle it?
Thanks, James

WE do not do anything like this. We have inside STS but they would need to be in custody and here for longer than a week. Probation would typically deal with anything community service related and out of custody.
Thanks!

Sherburne County does have an out-of-custody work crew. There is the option also, of Community Work Service. They would find a non-profit organization to complete their hours. But, I haven’t seen anything come from Veterans Court before and would assume I would treat it like others. Thanks, Steve

Chisago County is currently working on a program with our Outside DOC coordinator and probation and parole agents. This is still being developed and I do not have a timeline of when it will be up and working but it is something that we are working on.

Hennepin County has STS as an option as well as Community Work Service (CWS). Hours can be scheduled as small as four-hour increments or a full day (eight hours). CWS is fulfilled with a non-profit that we have vetted prior to the completion of the hours.
