Carroll County needs a Veteran Treatment Court to address the needs of veterans in Carroll County.
This innovative new Judiciary Venue is being promoted by David Ellin, State's Attorney Candidate for Carroll County. A veterans' court is a "special court" which is charged with trying cases of minor offenses which involve veterans, particularly those diagnosed with service-related illnesses. The Veterans Court in Maryland began in Prince George’s County in 2015. There are only 2 Veterans Treatment Courts in Maryland and 400 across the country.
We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and pray for our brave fighting men and women who are still serving. We should also not forget those veterans who’ve served and continue to struggle every day with alcohol or drug addiction, sometimes resulting from attempts to “self-medicate” while others agonize with mental health issues stemming from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other ailments that were developed or made worse during military service.
There is no Veterans Court in Carroll County to do this. David will work to establish one. He will ensure Maryland law attempts to strike a balance between holding criminals accountable and giving our nation’s heroes a second chance.
I am an indepedent veteran advocate who works to promote a better standard of living for our veterans, I whole heartedly support this effort and am working with David to accomplish this.
A meet n greet is planned for Monday, December 6th, 2021 at the Mount Airy Firemen's Carnival Fairgrounds Meeting Hall on Twin Arch Road in Mount Airy at 6 pm. Please plan to come out and meet David Ellin and discuss this and his vision for the Carroll County States Attorney's Office. Please support our effort; our veterans deserve this.
