Summary: Officer Dan Swanson joins the podcast to talk about the launch of the MPD’s Madison Addiction Recovery Initiative. Community partners - to include UW-Madison clinicians and the Dane County District Attorney’s office - are teaming up with MPD to make MARI a reality. It will give many heroin addicts the chance to avoid the criminal justice system if they opt to get into treatment immediately. A $700,000 federal grant is helping fuel the pilot program.
