Fairfax County Veterans Treatment Docket Celebrates Graduation, Oct. 25

The Fairfax County Veterans Treatment Docket will hold a graduation ceremony Thursday, Oct. 25, to mark a military veteran's successful completion of 18 months of comprehensive treatment and supervision.

The ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 1E, Fairfax County Courthouse, 4110 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax. Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Grace Carroll will preside. The public is invited.

The guest speaker will be James Kuiken, who served 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps active and reserve from 1973-2003. He is a decorated and combat-wounded veteran of multiple wars and conflicts including operations from the end of Vietnam, to the Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo and Operation Enduring Freedom. He has been awarded the Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and three Combat Action Ribbons.

The 18-24 month, court-supervised Veterans Treatment Docket program assists veterans involved in the criminal justice system by providing the necessary mental health and substance-use treatment to change behavior and reduce recidivism.

There are now over 500 veterans treatment programs in jurisdictions throughout the United States. In Virginia, veterans treatment dockets in Hampton, Norfolk and Spotsylvania are scheduled to begin this year.

The Fairfax County Veterans Treatment Docket is regularly scheduled for the second and fourth Thursday of the month.

For further information, contact Veteran Docket Coordinator Brooke Postlewaite, 703-246-2592.
