The Suburban Municipal Court Liaison’s role is to meet with clients who are arrested by an Eastside Municipality on a misdemeanor level offense. The Liaison will prepare a detailed screening/assessment of a client’s mental state and need for medication and will then communicate with the referring Municipal Court and/or Probation Department, and/or City Workhouse/House of Corrections staff to facilitate mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment needs.
