Episode 5: Community Policing, Deflection, and Pre-Arrest Diversion as Recovery Ecosystem Strategies

Chief Celisa Lehew, Chief of Police for the Chapel Hill Police Department, joins Recovery Ecosystem Radio to explore how law enforcement can serve as a critical front door for recovery. The discussion focuses on community policing, deflection, pre-arrest diversion, public safety, housing recovery, and how strong partnerships can connect people to Health, Home, Purpose, and Community rather than deeper involvement in the justice system.
