LEWISTOWN – The statewide Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative is set to expand to Mifflin County.
During a Lewistown Borough Council meeting held Monday evening, Police Chief David Clemens said he is starting to work on getting the program up and running.
LETI is a collaboration between local law enforcement and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office. According to a press release from the office, citizens may use sheriffs, probation officers and parole officers as a resource to contact treatment partners without the threat of arrest.
Clemens said LETI is intended to address mental health and drug issues in the community.
Under LETI, county law enforcement agencies open their station doors to those suffering from drug addiction, help identify treatment for those who seek it, assist with transportation to facilities and study outcomes, the release states.
