Polk Countys Free Clinic: Clearing Low-Level Warrants & Building Community
On April 3rd, Polk County hosts a free clinic to address low-level nonviolent warrants, focusing on misdemeanors, traffic tickets, and failure-to-appear cases. The event, held at River Place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., aims to reduce the backlog of over 8,200 active warrants, enhancing officer safety and community engagement.
County Attorney Kimberly Graham and coordinator Jerry Evans, inspired by a national conference, will facilitate the clinic. Participants must register online, bring government-issued ID, and expect payment plans, resources, and free childcare. The sheriffs office and NAACP support the initiative, with plans for bi-annual clinics to maintain momentum.
