The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is pleased to announce the creation of the Law Enforcement/First Responder Diversion Mentor Program to begin on October 1, 2019. This program is part of the training and technical assistance (TTA) resources available to local jurisdictions through BJA?s Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program (COAP). The selection process for mentor sites is being facilitated by TASC, Inc. in its role as a COAP TTA provider. COAP was developed as part of the 2016 Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act and is designed to provide financial and technical assistance to states, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments to plan, develop, and implement comprehensive efforts to identify, respond to, treat, and support those impacted by the opioid epidemic. The Law Enforcement/First Responder Diversion Mentor Program will provide communities interested in starting a diversion program with the opportunity to learn from established or innovative programs that have shown success in meeting their communities? treatment needs. The mentor sites selected through this application process will serve as models for individuals and teams interested in starting a program or for established programs interested in learning innovative practices. After the mentor sites are selected, BJA will develop a process for communities to submit an online application to visit a mentor program. BJA will support the travel of up to three individuals from approved communities to observe one of the mentor sites.
