LEAD LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTED DIVERSION
What is LEAD • Pre-booking diversion program
• Developed in Seattle
• Addresses low-level crimes/issues • Minor drug charges
• Homelessness/loitering
• Mental health crisis
• Allows law enforcement to redirect low-level
offenders to services instead of jail or prosecution
• Facilitated by entire criminal justice system
History of LEAD
• Disproportionate minority contacts and arrests
• Numerous court cases due to this fact
• Jail overcrowding
• Inability to expand jail
“So what do we do?”
Process of LEAD 1. Arrest is made
2. Officer diverts from booking and into LEAD
3. LEAD staff provide immediate assessment and
offer crisis assistance
4. Over time provide case management services 1. Must complete intake within 30 days of referral
2. Must sign a release in order to share information
5. Officer completes case for prosecutor
6. Held by prosecutor as long as individual is
progressing

toward an outcome that is better for them and the
community
What is Harm Reduction • An approach for treatment that involves a set of
practical techniques that are openly negotiated
with clients around what is most likely to be
achieved.
• The focus is on reducing the negative
consequences and risky behaviors of substance use
while enhancing an individual’s motivation for
change.
Treatment • An approach for treatment that focuses on
outreach, engagement and harm reduction.

• Community collaboration between criminal justice
system and treatment providers.
