COMPACT

The Compact initiative is a collaborative community drug intervention and education program designed to have direct interactions among all ages, social, faith based and economic groups within all 808 sq. miles of Shelby County Alabama. The Compact has implemented strategies that attack the availability of drugs and drug use through diverse actions and tools that focus on the following: connect and education all ages; prevention; interdiction; promote rehabilitation opportunities; and the enforcement of legal sanctions including all community corrections efforts. 

 As of September 2023, there are eight full partners in the Compact: Shelby County District Attorney’s Office, Shelby County Commission & County Manager, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, City of Alabaster, City of Pelham, City of Hoover, City of Chelsea, and City of Vestavia. The COMPACT expects other entities to participate in the programs and engagement actions applicable to the strategies.
