New National Drug Court Resource Center In Development
Since being awarded the National Drug Court Resource, Policy and Evidence-Based Practice Center grant by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, staff at JPO have been working closely with web developers to create a new, cutting-edge Resource Center website with an estimated launch in Spring 2017. The new website will feature a myriad of drug court resources including recent evidence-based findings, publications, archived and upcoming webinars, an event calendar, a searchable online drug court map, and links to training and technical assistance opportunities. The Resource Center will serve as a “one stop shop” to continually update the field on the latest research and will produce publications and multi-media approaches to disseminate and promote uptake of evidence-based practices within the drug court field.
In the meantime, however, updates on events such as webinars, training, conferences, and new resources will be available through this monthly newsletter and on the current version of the National Drug Court Resource Center. To subscribe to the monthly National Drug Court Resource Center Newsletter, please enter your information here.

Annual Drug Court Survey
This month JPO will begin conducting the Annual Drug Court Survey. We will be surveying state coordinators and a large sample of drug court programs throughout the country to learn more about the populations drug courts are serving, the services that are being provided to participants of drug court programs, and the current state of drug court operations, policies, and practices. This survey was previously conducted by the National Drug Court Institute (NDCI) under the name Painting the Current Picture.
