Abstract
Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) researchers conducted a process evaluation of Safe Passage Initiative, an initiative in which individuals get help from police in accessing substance use disorder treatment without fear of arrest. Researchers sought to understand how the initiative was developed and operated, as well as gain perspectives of those involved in the initiative—stakeholders, police officers, treatment providers, and clients. Researchers used a multi-method approach by gathering information from administrative intake data, a law enforcement staff survey, interviews with treatment provider and clients, and a focus group with stakeholders.
