Attorney General Sunday Announces Expansion of LETI in Sullivan County to Include Behavioral Health Services
Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the expansion of the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI) in Sullivan County to include a new behavioral health component, further strengthening the county's response to substance use and mental health challenges.
Sullivan County has been an active participant in LETI and is now the sixth county in Pennsylvania to incorporate the program's behavioral health services component - enhancing its ability to connect individuals with the appropriate level of care based on their specific needs and assessments.
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.
"LETI is an important tool in addressing both substance use disorders and the broader mental health crisis impacting communities across Pennsylvania," Attorney General Sunday said. "I commend Sullivan County and District Attorney Gavitt Shaffer for continuing to build on this program and for their commitment to being part of the solution. Expanding LETI to include a behavioral health component ensures more individuals can access the help they need, when they need it."
Speaker List:
Julie Gavitt Shaffer, Sullivan County District Attorney
Daniel Kaizale, Assistant Director of Drug & Alcohol, Sullivan & Bradford Counties
Attorney General Dave Sunday
Patrick Johnson, Sullivan County Public Defender
Judge Nina Sordoni, Court of Common Pleas, Sullivan & Wyoming Counties
Lauren Diller, State Director, Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative
