TASC consulting was mentioned in Policing on the Front Lines of the Opioid Crisis a report describing the response of police departments and sheriffs’ offices to a Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) survey. The report outlines challenges presented by some policies under which law enforcement professionals operate, and offers suggestions for ways to make progress in the ongoing opioid epidemic. 

The quote, excerpted below, appears on page 60 of the report.

"We have established pre-arrest and post-arrest law enforcement diversion programs for individuals who commit low-level, nonviolent, drug-related offenses. They are offered community-based substance abuse and behavioral health services.

"In addition, we have contracted with TASC...to examine the gaps in substance abuse treatment services and obstacles to connecting these individuals to treatment services."

— Chief Mike Yaniero, Jacksonville (NC) Police Department
