BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Sheriff David E. Harder announces that the Broome County Sheriff’s Office will partner with the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (P.A.A.R.I.) to create and launch an addiction outreach and recovery program for Broome County, making it the first law enforcement agency New York State to do so.
Under the Broome County Sheriff’s Office Recovery Commitment (BCSORC), the Sheriff’s Office will work with the nonprofit organization Truth Pharm to develop a program to pair those affected by the disease of addiction and seeking treatment with treatment centers drawn from partners across the country. They have set a goal to develop and implement the program before the end of 2015. An announcement will be made when a launch date is set.
