Daugaard is best-known for helping launch Seattle's Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program.

Plus, Lisa weights in on a recent Seattle auditor's report looking at "place-based problem-solving approach to addressing overdoses and drug-related crime."

Finally, Lisa Daugaard on civil or involuntary commitment. Is it coming to Seattle and Washington State?
