To help support improving the health, lives, and safety of Iowans, the Office of Drug Control Policy offers and partners with several federal programs. 

State Crisis Intervention Program

The State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) is a federal grant resulting from the Safer Communities Act. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act seeks to ensure that extreme risk protection order laws — commonly referred to as “red flag laws” — and programs are implemented in accordance with the Constitution and provide for adequate due process protections.
