Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative
Working with the Attorney General’s Office, District Attorney Stollsteimer introduced the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative program to members of the Delaware County law enforcement community.
Mission and Objectives: The mission of the LETI Program is to enhance public safety, reduce recidivism, and improve the well-being of individuals struggling with substance use. Its core objectives include:
- Diversion: Identify individuals with substance use disorders who come into contact with law enforcement and divert them away from incarceration towards treatment and rehabilitation.
- Access to Treatment: Ensure that individuals receive timely access to evidence-based treatment, counseling, and support services tailored to their needs.
- Collaboration: Foster collaboration and communication between law enforcement agencies, treatment providers, healthcare professionals, social services, and community organizations to create a seamless continuum of care.
- Education and Awareness: Raise awareness within the law enforcement community about substance use, addiction as a disease, and the benefits of diversion programs in reducing recidivism and improving outcomes.
The Delaware County Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI) Program exemplifies a collaborative and innovative approach to addressing substance use within the community. By diverting individuals away from the criminal justice system and towards treatment and support services, LETI helps promote recovery, reduce recidivism, and improve public safety and well-being for all residents.
