SUMMARY:NC-TAC Webinar: Pre-Arrest Diversion Programs in North Carolina ‑ Local Perspectives and New Resources
DESCRIPTION:Many law enforcement officers are familiar with community members who are repeatedly arrested for low-level crimes related to their substance use. There is growing recognition that arresting these individuals rarely leads to lasting positive change for the individuals or to improvements in public safety and community wellbeing. \nPre-arrest diversion programs connect people at risk of incarceration due to low-level drug-related offenses with treatment\, health and social services\, and other community supports. There are examples of successful pre-arrest diversion programs in cities and counties in all regions of North Carolina. \nJoin us to hear from panelists implementing these programs across the state. This webinar will also present NC-TAC’s new diversion handbook for law enforcement and community stakeholders. \nREGISTER HERE
