S.M.A.R.T. Neighborhood Advisory Committee

Quarterly Meeting of the San Diego Misdemeanants at Risk Track (S.M.A.R.T.) program's Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) Program addresses an ongoing challenge of the criminal justice system: low-level misdemeanor offenders who cycle through the system without access to services, coordination of care, or meaningful incentives to engage with social service providers. Many are arrested, taken into custody and released, only to be arrested again before the original charge comes to trial. To stop this revolving door, the City Attorney’s Office, in collaboration with the San Diego Police Department and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, created the S.M.A.R.T. (San Diego Misdemeanants At Risk Track) Program.
