Office of Community Oriented Policing Title: Institutionalization of Problem Solving, Analysis, and Accountability in the Port St. Lucie, Florida Police Department Summary: This report is a synopsis of results of a collaborative partnership by the Port St. Lucie, Florida Police Department (PSLPD) and Dr. Rachel Boba that has sought to increase the effectiveness of crime reduction efforts in the agency. The initiative began in 2004 and has evolved through a “practice-based evidence” approach over the last 7 years into a system of policies, procedures, practices, and products for implementing problem solving, analysis, evaluation, and accountability for effective crime reduction. The result has been the creation of a new organizational model for crime reduction called the Stratified Model of Problem Solving, Analysis, and Accountability. This report describes the phases of the model’s implementation in the department, explains the major events and accomplishments in each phase, presents the process and impact evaluation results, and discusses the results and their implications. Two important themes that arise from this work are that to be successful in improving crime reduction efforts police departments should: take a practice based-research approach and also ensure that strong leadership drives the organizational changes that are necessary.

Author: Holihen, Katie Title: Park Ridge's Success Story on Going Beyond Crisis Intervention Team Training: Building Whole-Community Responses to Mental Health Summary: As community-based mental health services go unfunded or lack sufficient resources, the safety net for people with mental illness has been essentially eliminated. At the community level, emergency rooms and law enforcement have become the new front doors to what remains of our mental health system, operating as the first point of contact for people in crisis or with chronic mental illness. As such, there is a pressing need for education and collaboration between these parties, as well as with the larger community. Specifically, in regards to law enforcement, agencies need to examine how to best manage officers' increasingly frequent contact with individuals with mental illness, including how to interact with them in a safe and compassionate way. Lack of training can quickly lead to the misinterpretation of intent of individuals in crisis, which, as seen in several high-profile officer-involved shootings across the country, could be the difference between life and death. Make no mistake, law enforcement as a profession has advanced considerably in its response to calls for service involving people with mental illness, in part because of the implementation of specialized police responses (SPR),1 which fall primarily into two categories: (1) the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Model, which was founded by the University of Memphis and was first implemented in Memphis, Tennessee,2 and (2) law enforcement and mental health co-responder teams, which was pioneered in Los Angeles County, California. As a cornerstone program for improving responses to people in crisis, the CIT Model, also known as the Memphis Model, and its affiliated training have been implemented in hundreds of police jurisdictions nationwide. Developed in the late 1980s, the CIT Model works to improve both officer and community safety by providing officers with relevant training and to reduce reliance on the criminal justice system by building stronger links within the mental health system.
