Six veterans graduated from the Prince William County Court's Veterans Docket May 1, 2024.
The rehabilitative diversion program was initiated in 2019, one of only 206 across the nation.

The program holistically integrates probation, community health resources, the prosecutor's office, and volunteers to assist veterans in overcoming these obstacles.
