Abstract: The information gathered from the survey will provide law enforcement agencies nationwide a better understanding of what diversion programs are and of their current policies and practices. The survey will aim to advance knowledge in the law enforcement field about police-led diversion programs, increase the potential for the establishment of successful new programs, and therefore enhance community partnership and practice. The project dissemination plan and issuance of a national compendium of existing programs organized by state and region will contribute to bring law enforcement agencies and communities into a dialogue about what kinds of existing approaches might work in different local settings. This project will assist agencies in starting new diversion programs and thereby expand the number of programs nationally.
