Attorney General Dave Sunday has announced the expansion of the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI) to now include behavioral health services. The program, which aims to divert individuals struggling with substance use disorder or behavioral health issues from criminal prosecution toward treatment and case management, will launch its expanded services in Columbia, Montour, Snyder, and Union Counties.
These four central Pennsylvania counties are the first to implement LETI with a behavioral health component. The new feature is intended to provide more individualized care based on assessments and specific needs.
"LETI is a collaborative program launched by the Office of Attorney General in partnership with district attorney's offices and other law enforcement to divert individuals suffering from substance use disorder or from behavioral health concerns from potential criminal prosecution by being referred to treatment services or case management," said Attorney General Sunday.
Speakers at the event included Brian Kerstetter, Union County District Attorney; Angela Mattis, Montour County District Attorney; Daniel Lynn, Columbia County District Attorney; Mary Lyn Cadman, CMSU Behavioral Health Admin; Heath Brosius, Snyder County District Attorney; and Attorney General Dave Sunday.
