- PAD is a collaboration between police officers, service providers, and community residents, and takes a health-centered approach to law enforcement.
- The PAD program works with participants to address issues surrounding access to basic needs, appropriate medical care, and the development and achievement of short and long-term goals.
- PAD services are voluntary, free to the participant, and will continue for as long as the participant requests help from the program. PAD operates Monday through Friday between 12-8PM.
