Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that Cumberland and Perry counties have become the 31st and 32nd counties to join 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.PA LETI is a law enforcement-led treatment initiative that enables Pennsylvanians in Cumberland and Perry counties seeking treatment for substance use disorder to contact probation and parole services, the sheriff's department, other county officials, and community stakeholders, who will then contact the Cumberland-Perry County Drug and Alcohol Program, Single County Authority (SCA)."I commend Cumberland and Perry counties for addressing this crisis and recognizing the importance of diverting individuals from criminal charges and prison when treatment services are in their best interests, as well as the community's," said Attorney General Dave Sunday. "By connecting people with the care they need, LETI saves lives, strengthens neighborhoods, and helps reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorder. I also applaud District Attorneys McCormack and Merris and our law enforcement partners across Cumberland and Perry counties for their efforts in building a healthier, stronger Pennsylvania."Speaker List:Sean McCormack, Cumberland County District AttorneyClay Merris, Perry County District AttorneyAttorney General Dave SundayChristopher Raubenstine, Silver Spring Township Chief of PoliceBrenda Iliff-Lawver, Cumberland-Perry Drug & Alcohol CommissionSteve Barndt, Executive Director, Just For TodayMegan Zabinski
