Tribe: Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe
15.05.04 Special Court Rules for Domestic Violence or Family Violence Crimes.
In addition to the rules of the Court generally applicable to criminal
proceedings, the Court may take the following actions in proceedings of
alleged domestic violence or family violence:
A. If the alleged perpetrator pleads or is found guilty, the Court, in its
discretion, may order the tribal Probation Department to prepare a pre-
sentence report prior to sentencing.
If it appears to the Court that alcohol or drugs played a part in the crime,
a chemical dependency evaluation with a treatment plan may be ordered
prior to sentencing immediately after a guilty plea, plea of no contest, or a
conviction.
[…]
D. Upon a guilty plea, conviction, or other outcome, the Court shall order the
perpetrator to participate in any tribe or State certified domestic violence
perpetrator treatment program. The perpetrator is responsible for the
following:
1. The perpetrator shall attend and cooperate in an intake session for a
domestic violence perpetrator’s treatment program.
2. The perpetrator treatment program shall complete the intake not later
than 10 calendar days after entry of the order requiring treatment,
unless the Court extends that time period upon showing of good
cause.
3. A copy of the recommended treatment plan shall be provided to the
Court.
4. The domestic violence program or other services provider shall submit
written progress reports to the Court at least every six (6) calendar
weeks.
The Court has discretion to order the perpetrator to participate in treatment
sessions as part of the domestic violence program’s treatment plan instead of
sentencing the perpetrator to confinement and/or fine. The Court has
discretion to suspend penalty of confinement and/or fine pending the
completion of the treatment ordered by the Court. However, once the Court
issues an order, it must be completed prior to dismissal unless probation is
revoked
