This Unit is designed to provide social services to citizens who come to the attention of law enforcement as a result of psychological problems, in linking such citizens to the proper social service agencies, and in diverting such situations away from the Criminal Justice System.

This unit has the responsibility of providing services to all citizens referred, routing the cases to a long term agency when warranted. Whenever possible, this unit will provide feedback to the referring deputy to apprise them of case activity. There are three people assigned to this unit and are available to respond around the clock.
