Public Safety- Of the Oregon inmate population, 32.2% have moderate to severe mental health needs and 53.4% have dependence and addiction issues. The Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Program diverts people who commit low level crimes stemming from social service and mental health issues into intensive case management services in lieu of being arrested. Accountability is retained with the D.A. to ensure engagement in the program. Additionally, we need to increase capacity at the Oregon State Hospital for people experiencing serious mental health issues.
