Fort Smith Police Department Seeks Grant for Part-Time Licensed Counselor

As the Fayetteville Police Department launches its social work internship program, the Fort Smith Police Department is waiting to find out if it's been awarded a grant that would fund a part-time licensed counselor that can work on opioid and substance abuse related issues. That's in addition to the department's Crisis Intervention Unit, which was launched last year with two officers and the hope of expanding it to three or four in 2021.
