Jenkins said drug possession citations will be discharged unless an individual reaches five citations -- then the citations will be bundled and charged together.
"Helping substance users access treatment and services through the Community Justice Center will save lives," Jenkins said in a statement.
"When someone reaches five citations for public drug use, that is a clear signal that they are in a crisis and need support. Addressing substance use and addiction in our community requires an all-hands-on-deck approach that includes the criminal justice system. We will continue our office's laser focus on holding drug dealers accountable."
In August, Jenkins announced an aggressive new policy against drug dealers to ensure those arrested with over 5 grams of illegal drugs face felony changes, rather than be sent to rehabilitative court. As of Aug. 31, Jenkins has filed felony drug charges against 125 residents said to have been selling illegal drugs in the city.
