LEID is a community-based approach with the goals of improving public safety and public order, and reducing unnecessary justice system involvement of people who participate in the program. LEID provides numerous benefits to both law enforcement and the community served. Community members benefit from increased access to social services, decrease in substance use, mental illness, and criminal activity. This module explores the origins of the LEID program and how it applies to tribal communities.
First and foremost, LEID is focused on public safety. Participants will discuss how law enforcement benefits from enhanced community-police relations through increased trust and legitimacy, personnel time saved in processing custodial arrests and responding to repeat offenders. This module explores the goals of a community LEID program, and the important role law enforcement plays in program success.
While LEID has shown to improve police – community relationships, this module explores the larger process of assessing the relationship between the police and community and implementing foundational practices that focus on developing strategies for community education, awareness, and support of the community-based LEID program.
Discuss an overview of LEID, a community-based approach with the goals of improving public safety and reducing unnecessary justice system involvement for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health disorders. While law enforcement plays a key role in LEID implementation, there are key resources and stakeholders within the community which are critical to program success. This module introduces the organizations and individuals which are critical to the long-term success of a community diversion program and allows them to share their role in bringing LEID to the community.
Participants will consider the specific resources, organizations, and individuals necessary for developing a diverse, community appropriate LEID program and list those resources and their availability within the community.
This session will include a facilitated discussion and talking circle with grandparents, elders and elder advocates around needs within the community specifically related to supporting grandparents who are raising grandchildren as a result of parental substance misuse. Discussion will also include identification of resources already available within the community to support grandparents. Promising approaches will also be explored. Discussion outcomes will be shared with the larger group and integrated into the action planning process in the afternoon session as appropriate.
*Breaks will be included as needed
This session will focus on a case study from a community that has successfully implemented tribal community and culturally based strategies to assist in intervention and deflection and alternatives to arrest. Discussion will cover obstacles the program leaders faced with implementation and how they overcame those obstacles and created a program that serves their community.
This module will focus on the dynamics of how addiction, generational trauma and social issues contribute to involvement in the criminal justice system and increase the likelihood of repeat involvement in criminal activity, and the high rates of relapse and recidivism found among drug-involved offenders. Participants will discuss effective treatment models, expanding access to help break the links between drug use and crime, and improving community safety while also improving access to effective treatment.
In this module participants will utilize the stakeholder and resource inventory to assign roles and responsibilities and develop the outline of a plan for developing and implementing LEID in the community. Participants will build in “checkups” for follow up at 30-60-90 days for program analysis.
