Our Mission

The purpose of Craighead County STAR Court is to identify, develop, and implement alternatives to incarceration for offenders with alcohol- and drug- related driving offenses in order to reduce episodes of impaired driving. STAR Court concentrates not only on the offense but attempts to ascertain and address the root causes of the offender's behavior through the integration of intensive supervision, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, alcohol and drug testing, and case management services with criminal justice processing. STAR Court seeks to create a higher level of safety in the community and to reduce the rate at which offenders repeat criminal behavioral patterns and who would otherwise pose a danger to the community.
