Stephen Hesford: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the Drug Interventions
Programme. [205235]
Caroline Flint: The Drug Interventions Programme (formerly Criminal Justice Interventions Programme) is a critical part of the
Government's national strategy for tackling drugs. The programme aims to make the most of opportunities provided by the criminal
justice system to get drug misusing offenders out of crime and into treatment.
The "intensive" elements of the Drug Interventions Programme are currently operational in 66 police basic command units (47 DATs)
with high levels of acquisitive crime. In 2005-06 we will expand the intensive elements of the programme to a further 32 basic
command units. These elements include testing for Class A drugs following charge for certain offences and in a number of areas
restriction on court bail for those who have tested positive.
The programme will be enhanced by measures to be included in the Drugs Bill, introduced to Parliament on 16 December 2004.
Early evidence shows that acquisitive crime is falling faster in Drug Interventions Programme areas than non-programme areas.

Stephen Hesford: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the role of the Criminal
Justice Interventions Programme in addressing drug-misusing offenders. [148428]
Caroline Flint: The Criminal Justice Interventions Programme (CJIP) is a programme of measures designed to help drug misusing
offenders reduce their offending behaviour by accessing drug treatment. The programme includes enhanced arrest referral, drug
testing on charge and a range of initiatives to improve treatment needs of offenders while serving their sentence. CJIP also
encourages the positive reintegration into society of drug misusers after they have left the judicial system.
CJIP rolled out on April 2003 and will expand its coverage from April 2004.
