Résumé

"A growing number of law enforcement agencies have partnered with mental health agencies and community groups to design and implement innovative programs to improve encounters involving people with mental illnesses. These “specialized policing responses” (SPRs) are designed to produce better outcomes from these encounters by training responders to use crisis de-escalation strategies and prioritize treatment over incarceration when appropriate. This report explores the program design process, including detailed examples from several communities from across the country. It is meant to assist initiative leaders and agents of change who want to select or adapt program features from models that will be most effective in their communities. To ensure that this material has practical value, staff members from the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) visited four jurisdictions with extensive experience with SPRs to examine their decision-making and program development processes (selected based on a range of characteristics such as diverse objectives, jurisdiction size, and program model type). During each visit, project staff interviewed relevant stakeholders and observed initiative activities. The four jurisdictions selected were Akron, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Los Angeles, Calif.; and New River Valley, Va."--Pages viii-ix.
