Ontario. Ministry of the Attorney General, Court Services. Metro East. Ontario Court of Justice, Criminal Court
There are various components of the Attorney General's role. The Attorney General has unique responsibilities to the Crown, the courts, the Legislature and the executive branch of government. While there are different emphases and nuances attached to these there is a general theme throughout all the various aspects of the Attorney General's responsibilities that the office has a constitutional and traditional responsibility beyond that of a political minister.
Springboard Central Toronto - Youth Court Action Planning Program (YCAPP)
A voluntary program for youth before the courts needing support in connecting to community resources. After a comprehensive risk/needs assessment with the youth, YCAPP counsellors build a personalized plan to address the youth’s behaviours in partnership with the youth, their families, defense counsel, and community partners. Counsellors follow-up and support youth until their matters in court are complete.
CAMH - Drug Treatment Court Services
Entry into the program is voluntary: prospective clients need to apply through their lawyer and/or duty counsel at Old City Hall Toronto. The DTC Crown attorney screens all applicants for eligibility. This substance use intervention model combines drug addiction treatment with the judicial supervision of a “problem-solving” court. It offers an alternative to incarceration for adults who face criminal charges as a result of non-violent criminal activities related to their use of opioids, crack/cocaine and methamphetamines. Clients participate in a structured outpatient program with extensive case management services, random urine screens and frequent court appearances. Upon successful completion of the program, which lasts a minimum of one year, clients receive a non-custodial sentence, rather than incarceration.
VST - High Risk Support Services
High Risk Support Services promotes the safety of individuals and their families who are at a high risk of experiencing violence by an intimate ex-partner. Case Coordinators work with clients to create comprehensive safety plans, reassess safety options as circumstances change, as well as provide advocacy, court accompaniment, linkages to community supports and assist with the completion of VQRP applications.
