Dear colleagues,
Through TASC’s Center for Health and Justice’s work on the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP), TASC is pushing out a survey to the nation’s deflection and pre-arrest diversion programs from law enforcement to fire to EMS, and of course inclusive of treatment, recovery, case management, service, and community partners. This is the first-ever national field-wide survey on deflection and pre-arrest diversion programs.
The purpose of this groundbreaking national survey of deflection and pre-arrest diversion sites is to get a much needed broad understanding of our field including identifying essential features of these programs. This historical survey will provide us a comprehensive picture of the state of the field and hence, allow our field to share, learn, and grow to do better and to serve more.
