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.

LEWISTOWN At a special meeting Monday, board members approved a resolution by a 3 – 1 margin that asks the borough of Lewistown to take over the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Lewistown’s (MABL) debt.
In a roll call vote, board president Ben Rager and members Jennifer Miller and Frank Berrier voted in favor. Board member Jeff Rocco, appearing via Zoom, voted against, chastising the board in the process.
By allowing the borough to refinance its debt, the borough is a step closer to its previously discussed proposition to take ownership of the municipal authority and lease it to generate revenue for the borough.
