Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Grant Agreement between State of Arizona, Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Cochise County, County Attorney’s Office (CCAO) in the amount of $10,000 for Fentanyl Prosecution, Diversion, and Testing, effective July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

Background:

As part of the County Attorney's Office's efforts to provide equal access to the Diversion Program, our office requested funding from DPS to cover the cost of Drug Testing for the participants of the Cochise County Drug Diversion program.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Once approved by the Board, the Department will forward the paperwork to the Arizona Department of Public Safety for their final approval and signature.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

The County Attorney's Office would likely experience an increase in cases that would otherwise be resolved using the Diversion program; taxpayers would assume the added expenses. Diversion Services may become disproportionately available across the County.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Please have the Board Chair sign the document and return to Krist-Anah Watkins.
