Brown County’s DWI Court has gotten off to a slow start as the program navigates it’s “trial and error” period, but is working its way out of that phase, the court’s judge said.

The court has four participants - one who began in February and three who began after a special docket on June 6, Brown County Court-at-Law Judge Frank Griffin said.

He said he expects July 25 to be a “red letter day” for the DWI court. For the first time, the team running court will meet to discuss the progress of all four participants. Later that day, all four participants will be together in Griffin’s court, and he will address them one at a time.

Griffin said he’ll hear reports on topics including whether the participants have been attending counseling, job status and the results of breath tests and a probation officer’s home visits.
