Officers will have the option of taking individuals to the Mission Street Recovery Station in San Jose.
SAN JOSE – The San Jose Police Department is rolling out a new program that will give officers the option of taking first-time misdemeanor DUI offenders to a recovery facility instead of jail.Crime and Public Safety |The program aims to hold offenders accountable while also providing them with services they need to recover and change their behavior, police said in a statement.. The Santa Clara County-operated facility provides drug, alcohol and mental health triage and support services.
In its statement, the police department said the program will save arresting officers “significant amounts of time by allowing them to avoid the often lengthy booking process at jail,” and allow them to return more quickly to their beats. “This process will greatly benefit the community by providing a social service based approach for eligible candidates as an alternative to incarceration,” San Jose Police Chief Anthony Mata said.
