SUMMARY:Strengthening Veteran Identification Efforts
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by National Institute of Corrections: \nStrengthening Veteran Identification Efforts\nDate and Time: March 19\, 2026\nat 9 am PT / 10 am MT /11 am CT / 12 pm ET for 90 minutes. \nThe National Institute of Corrections (NIC) Veterans Network launched a series of three webinars this year that highlighted services for veterans who have become negatively involved in the criminal justice system. The next webinar will be An Introduction to Strengthening Veteran Identification Efforts. Identification is a critical first step to connecting at-risk veterans with the services and treatment they have earned. \nWhy Is This Topic Important?\nStudies show that deployment-related trauma exposure\, combined with increased incidence of mental health and substance use disorders\, elevate veterans’ risk of contact with the justice system. For example\, one study showed that veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder had a 61% higher chance of criminal justice system involvement than veterans without PTSD. Another study found that justice-involved veterans were almost three times as likely as other veterans to have attempted suicide in their lifetime. \nThese early stages of the criminal justice process are critical\, as they provide a key opportunity to identify the challenges facing veterans and to connect them to services and benefits tailored to help them address those challenges. \nSeries Take-Aways\nThis interactive webinar will cover several topics to get you started with beginning (or improving existing) identification efforts in your organization\, office\, or community. Participants will: \n\nDiscover how identification efforts can give your organization more visibility with at-risk and vulnerable veterans in your community.\nRecognize how identification processes can ensure veterans can assess the treatment and programs they need.\n\nLearn about the Department of Veterans Affairs tools\, Veterans Reentry Search Service and Status Query and Response Exchange System (SQUARES) that allow law enforcement\, jails\, prisons\, and courts to independently verify the veteran status of individuals. \nSpeakers: \nMatt Doss\nProgram Manager\, Project Lead Illinois Veteran Deflection\, TASC’s Center for Health and Justice \nKatie Wilson\nIndiana Court of Technology\, Office of Judicial Administration\, Indiana Supreme Court \nKari Jackson\nLocal Inmate Data System (LIDS) Manager\, Virginia State Compensation Board \nStephani Carlton\nStatewide Veterans Service Manager\, Virginia Department of Corrections \nAlso including NIC Staff:\nJim Wiseman\, National Programs Advisor\, National Institute of Corrections\, U.S. Department of Justice \nJeff Hanson\, National Programs Advisor\, National Institute of Corrections\, U.S. Department of Justice \nWho Should Attend?\nLaw enforcement\, corrections staff\, court and legal representatives (defenders and prosecutors)\, social workers\, justice program managers\, staff from state veterans affairs departments\, and advocates working directly with veterans involved in the criminal justice system. \nHow Do I Register?\nFollow this link to register in NIC’s WebEx Event Center \nRegister for the Webinar
