District Meeting Schedule
In an effort to be more hands-on with our medical professionals, law enforcement officers, and other interested community partners, we have restructured our Lake County SART meetings. Our purpose is to focus more on case reviews, updates on case law, addressing problems to make prosecution of these cases easier.
We have divided Lake County SART into two districts, in order to group similarly situated police departments/populations together so we can better address challenges in each community.
