When encountering someone who's committed a low-level non-violent offense such as drug possession, an officer can decide to refer them to the program rather than incarceration if the individual consents to participation. A LEAD Coordinator will assess the individual and coordinate treatment services, along with reporting any non-compliance to the referring officer.
