Description
Montgomery County plans to research and identify, through community consensus, alternatives to divert consumers from their local jails, decrease the burdens on law enforcement, and humanely serve their MI/COD consumers. The community has not been able to implement the no-refusal drop-off site component of the CIT model, and changes to the VA Code after the Virginia Tech tragedy have made alternatives to jail placements critical.
