DRUG COURT MAY BE NATIONAL MODEL
Forrest-Perry Circuit Court Judge Bob Helfrich's adult drug court
operation may become one of the National Drug Court Institute's model
courts - one of about 20 in the U.S.
If the Hattiesburg court, which has operated less than a year, gains
the designation it will become a site for drug court training for
1,168 other courts around the country.
"This designation would bring in upwards of 100 people for three or
four days for training several times a year," Helfrich said Monday,
explaining why he asked to be evaluated for the program.
