What is the Academy of Training Skills?
The Academy of Training Skills is a pre-trial diversion program known as a Judicial Agency Referral Residential Facility. ATS provides housing, clothing, meals, transportation, employment, counseling and education to individuals arrested for a crime who, otherwise, would be placed in our jail and penal systems. We only accept individuals charged with non-violent, non-sexual offenses. Our focus is largely on first time offenders, turning lives around before they reach the revolving door of the penal system.
