police say the majority of their cases are linked to drug addiction.
Officers have partnered with an embedded social worker to try to get people the addiction and mental health treatment they need. The program has had promising success. Since 2018, the team has contacted 2,868 people. 472 of those accepted help and many now have jobs and housing. They call the people they contact their clients. They will meet them anywhere, on the street, in a camp or even in jail if someone is ready to get clean."Personally, I have a daughter who is a heroin addict, so it hit close to home for me," said Officer Buell.
