Unlike traditional supervision where the offender reports to a probation officer once a month, Veterans are supervised by a team of individuals and the Court itself! Veterans supervision actually begins at the VAMC when the Veteran enrolls into the Veterans Justice Outreach Program. (see "How to Enroll")This is a pre-requisite to being accepted into Veterans Court. Once accepted by Veterans Court, the Veteran's case will be carefully reviewed by the VA Court Team and this information is made available to the Assistant State Attorney for VA Court and to the VA Court Judge. Should the Veteran and his/her attorney accept the supervision offer decided upon, the Veteran is then placed under the supervision of either the Florida Department of Corrections (felony cases), or Professional Probation Services (misdemeanor cases). And then the Veteran is assigned to a Mentor, with whom they must have a minimum of one meeting per month. And finally, in addition to all the persons the Veteran must report to each month, the Veteran must also report to the Court, accompanied by their probation officer and their Mentor, and report directly to the Judge. We at Veterans Court see this method as the future of supervision. For more information regarding supervision, please click on "Types of Supervision".
