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 inthe 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.
