Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) is a collaborative project involving local police, prosecutors, public defenders, corrections officers and social service providers designed to divert individuals arrested or suspected of low-level property crimes, drug offenses and/or prostitution into social services rather than the criminal justice system. These individuals will be engaged in supportive services with the goal of reducing legal recidivism and improving quality of life.

We are seeking LEAD case managers to respond to police referrals as well as other social contact referrals within the Everett and Lynnwood city limits. LEAD Case Managers will also provide engagement and intensive case management for eligible and willing participants for this diversion program.

Primary responsibilities include providing screening, outreach, long-term engagement and supportive services for participants through intensive case management activities and collaboration with LEAD partners, service providers, housing providers and other community organizations. The case manager will engage participants on the street and at social service provider facilities to establish a working relationship and offer services. Provide advocacy and support for participants within the criminal justice system including court appearances and written communication. Accompany and transport participants to appointments as needed using company vehicles.
