King County District Court, Redmond Community Court

Description

Community Court in Redmond is an alternative problem-solving court. It differs from traditional court in that it seeks to identify and address the underlying challenges of court participants that may contribute to further criminal activity. Its goal is to build stronger and safer neighborhoods and reduce recidivism. Community Court provides services and accountability for those who are eligible and choose to participate. An assessment is conducted with all Community Court participants to identify challenges and strengths. The assessment provides information to help determine what follow-up steps an individual Community Court participant will be required to take in order to resolve their case. In addition, Community Court participants are often required to perform community service.
Each week, we hold a Community Resource Center for both court participants and the public to use. The Resource Center consists of community partners who provide a wide array of services.
