Abstract

The Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) has an overarching aim to identify and engage with adult offenders in the criminal justice system who use drugs and/or alcohol, and encourage them towards appropriate treatment services in order to reduce acquisitive crime. This report presents data on drug tests carried out across Merseyside’s custody suites between April 2019 and March 2020. It contextualises Merseyside Police drug testing records by providing numbers and trends of offenders who use cocaine and/or opiates, identified through this route into DIP, and a demographic overview of this cohort.
