District Attorney Warren Montgomery was a guest speaker yesterday during the first day of the Louisiana Opioid Action Summit at the Harbor Center in Slidell. The three-day event, sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Health, has brought together state and local officials, as well as community leaders to brain storm ideas and develop strategies to combat the crisis that is devastating communities across the country. D.A. Montgomery talked about the 22nd Judicial District’s approach, offering Operation Angel, Diversion, and the Specialty Courts to drug addicts to give them a chance at rehabilitation, instead of incarceration.
