Rock County is highlighted in the latest issue of the DMC Action Network e-Newsletter, reviewing some of the progress made over the past couple of years in creating alternatives to detention, implementing sound screening and assessment practices, and reducing reoffending.  Much of this progress began under the leadership of Jason Witt, who is now the Human Services Director in La Crosse County, and the delinquency team is now being led by Lance Horozewski. Congratulations for the progress made and hopes for more to come.                               Post by Jim Moeser
