The Board of State and Community Corrections is seeking
members for an executive steering committee for its new Law
Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) competitive grant program.
The Governor’s 2016-2017 budget allocates $15 million to the
LEAD program. Grants will be allocated to three
jurisdictions for three-year pilot programs.
The purpose of the LEAD program is to improve public safety and
reduce recidivism by increasing the availability and use of
social service resources while reducing costs to law enforcement
agencies and courts stemming from repeated incarceration.
This executive steering committee will develop the RFP for
Board approval, rate proposals, and make award recommendations to
the Board. Committee members will be appointed by the Board on a
limited-term beginning in September 2016 and concluding in June
2017. The BSCC is accepting statements of interest through
July 31, 2016.

committee, and to submit a statement of interest, please click
