| Services
The Comprehensive Offender Rehabilitation and Education Program frequently
referred to as CORE was established in 1973 as a DUI course provider.
Over the years the program grew into more comprehensive services including
the DUI classes, evaluations, probation, traffic safety courses and other
programs as needed by the Courts and the community. CORE provides multifaceted
services in the 19th Judicial Circuit as well as on-line courses in traffic
safety and family education.
Organizational Structure
CORE operates as a nonprofit organization with a criminal justice oversight
Board of Directors composed of committed individuals from law enforcement,
Clerks of the Court, Office of the State Attorney, Office of the Public
Defender and other qualified representatives of the community.
Fee Supported
CORE is operated as a fee-supported program, generating operating capital
from student registration fees and cost of probation supervision fees
versus receiving funding from the State, Federal or local governments.
Unlike many other programs that receive funds from the state and county,
uniquely, CORE disperses funds to the State of Florida from the traffic
law and substance abuse course required for first time drivers and from
DUI registration fees.
Contracts/Licensing
CORE contracts with the counties for probation services. CORE provides
DUI services in the supervision and licensing of the Department of Highway
Safety and Motor Vehicles. CORE also provides substance abuse intervention
services under the supervision and licensing of the Department of Children
and Family Services. Both DHSMV and DCF conduct on-site licensing reviews
annually. CORE undergoes a complete, comprehensive financial audit of
all components annually.
