Monroe County Becomes 23rd County to Join Office of Attorney General's LETI Diversion Initiative

Attorney General Michelle Henry today announced that Monroe County has joined the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI), a collaborative program launched by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and law enforcement to divert individuals in need to treatment services.

Monroe County becomes the 23rd county to join LETI as Attorney General Henry continues efforts to expand the program. With today's addition of Monroe County, the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative has reached more than one third of all Pennsylvania counties so far.

PA LETI is a law enforcement-led treatment initiative that will allow Pennsylvanians in Monroe County seeking treatment for substance use disorder to avoid arrest by using local law enforcement, county officials, and community stakeholders, to contact the Carbon, Monroe, Pike Drug & Alcohol Commission.

Michael Mancuso, Assistant District Attorney, Monroe County District Attorneys Office, announces that Monroe County has joined the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI), a collaborative program launched by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and law enforcement to divert individuals in need to treatment services...The start of the LETI Program on May 4 is historic for our county. This will represent a major step forward in addressing the root cause of much of the low-level crime overburdening our law enforcement and courts, said Assistant District Attorney Mike Mancuso from the Monroe County District Attorney's Office. With LETI as a resource referral, nonviolent offenders will be encouraged to obtain treatment instead of taking their chances in the court system. Anyone can make a LETI referral. As more of these offenders benefit from appropriate treatment, crime rates and the associated costs will decrease. Our community will benefit across the board. Its a very exciting time in Monroe County..<br><a href="https://filesource.amperwave.net/commonwealthofpa/photo/22928_OAG_LETI_ERD_001.jpg" target="_blank">⇣ Download Photo</a> Michael Mancuso, Assistant District Attorney, Monroe County District Attorneys Office, announces that Monroe County has joined the Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative (LETI), a collaborative program launched by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and law enforcement to divert individuals in need to treatment services...The start of the LETI Program on May 4 is historic for our county.
