The Oakland County
Combat Veterans Treatment Court conducted a ceremony for its eighth
graduating class on Tuesday, December 10, in Oakland County Circuit
Court Judge Nanci Grant’s courtroom at the Oakland County Courthouse in
Pontiac. On hand for the ceremony were (left to right) Blaine Welmers,
Judge Grant, Nicholas Calvert, and Tanya Hill of Warriors Trust Fund.
Grant created the Oakland County Combat Veterans Treatment Court in
2013. It is the state’s only Combat Veterans Treatment Court. The goal
of this specialty court is to reach Oakland County combat veterans who
have been charged with criminal offenses related to traumatic
experiences suffered in combat, conflict, or military sexual assault
while serving the country. First responders involved with search and
rescue operations or recovery missions are also eligible for the CVTC.
The program focuses on the unique issues faced by veterans and includes
extensive mentoring with military veterans who can relate to the
participants’ combat experiences.
