Brief Overview:

The Deflection training session for Law Enforcement includes the following topics:

  • The basics of addiction (not drug use) understood within the context of the purpose and practice of law enforcement deflection
  • Medication-Assisted Recovery/Treatment – How medications for opioids are not “substituting one drug for another”
  •  Drug treatment: What it is and how it works
  • Understanding that recovery from drug use does happen and what that can look like over time
  • Criminogenic Risk-Need – How addressing addiction and other issues people face can reduce crime

As a result of the Deflection training session, attendees will be able to:

  • Understand addiction as a chronic, relapsing disease of the brain
  • Know the purpose and value of the use of medications for addressing opioid use disorder
  • Explain the implications of addiction for deflection encounters
  • State the importance of SUD treatment as part of a deflection strategy to reduce crime and promote an individual’s well-being
  • Understand that recovery from addiction is possible and what it looks like
  • Describe how deflection interrupts the linkage between addiction (drug use) and crime
  • State the importance in deflection of avoiding, reducing, and addressing SUD stigma as a barrier to accessing treatment
