The Longmont Department of Public Safety (LDPS) is ready to walk alongside members of our community facing substance use and mental health issues. Our holistic approach brings together community-based partners and resources to offer coordinated care and support for those in need.
Meaningful Connection and Belonging Starts Here.
"Through acceptance and partnership, we emphasize self-determination and value the journey of meeting people where they're at - while caring enough to not stop there."
