Detroit Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Program (LEAD)
This initiative is an arrest diversion program which seeks to address low level offenses, including opioid and other illicit drug use, as public health issues rather than criminal issues providing immediate access to comprehensive, community-based services that center participant and community wellbeing over punishment and/or abstinence. Detroit LEAD focuses on reducing recidivism and improving health outcomes among individuals who frequently cycle in and out of the criminal justice system.
