Speaker

Our speaker was Judge Andrew Santoli, who lives in Strongsville and was elected as a Judge of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas in November 2020, having previously been a prosecutor.  He is in charge of the Veteran's Treatment Court.
 
The Veteran's Treatment Court is one of a number of speciality courts in Cuyahoga County that also include drug courts and mental health courts.  Speciality courts have been shown to reduce recidivism.  Veteran's who pick up a criminal charge may have the option of going to the Veteran's Treatment Court where they work with members of the community including the VA, Tri-C and other state agencies to get their clients (the veterans) the services they need to get back on track in an intense probation system.  They also have a volunteer mentorship program.
