25 Criminal Justice System Sequential Intercept Model Behavioral Health System Intercept 1 Intercept 3 Intercept 4 Intercept 5 Pre-arrest Diversion Post-arrest Diversion Court/Jail Diversion Re-entry from jail Probation / Parole Law Enforcement / Emergency Services Criminal Justice System Intercept 2 Initial hearings / initial detention Special jurisdiction courts Transitional support back to community Community support services Diversion of appropriate non-violent juveniles and adults throughout CJ system BH System Community Services and Supports: crisis support, residential and vocational support, SPA, outpatient
26 Impact People with mental illness require specialized approaches during contact with police, a substantial amount of time is spent on these contacts. Existing Services • Existing options for police are detention or 302’s are very time intensive. • Mobile crisis services Identified Needs • • Potential Interventions • Cross-training for Behavioral health and Criminal Justice • Training specific for first responders (CIT for police, EMS, and 911) • Explore expanding the 911 system for early identification • Explore a temporary residential option as a diversion to incarceration • Additional coordination with existing crisis services to increase utilization, improve interface with police, and increase diversions Identification of people, who are involved with MH system, when police are dispatched Early assessment Alternatives instead of criminal justice system Short-term respite
27 Impact Many individuals with behavioral health needs have little or no resources & may be detained because they are unable to post bail and are not offered release on personal recognizance. An absence of supervised treatment/support alternatives for these offenders may lead to incarceration instead of more appropriate treatment. Existing Services • Medical assessment and clearance by nurse Identified Needs • Behavioral health evaluation and assessment earlier in CJ process Potential Interventions • Behavioral health evaluation and assessment at booking and preliminary arraignment
28 Impact Opportunity for plea agreement and diversion to connect to appropriate community resources Existing Services • • Identified Needs • Not all police and court staff are aware of existing in-house MH forensic programs at courthouse Potential Interventions • Additional cross-training on existing on-site MH assessment services to increase awareness of existing diversion options MH assessment service at courthouse for adults and juveniles DUI assessment program Jail-based COD assessments and treatment (mental health and substance abuse) Additional jail-based services include anger management, parenting, and education classes
29 Impact Connecting with community services and supports prior to and upon release to reduce recidivism. Existing Services • • Identified Needs Increase awareness of existing programs Potential Interventions Additional cross-training on jail-based services and re-entry supports Jail-based assessments and treatment Re-entry Liaison Vocational supports Sponsor programs
30 Impact Maintaining individuals in community to reduce recidivism and providing linkage between probation/parole and Behavioral health services and supports. Existing Services • • Identified Needs Probation/parole officers may not be aware of available Behavioral health services that can serve as a diversion to incarceration given a violation of probation/parole. Potential Interventions • Training for probation/parole officers on existing crisis / respite services to provide alternatives to incarceration. • Explore a temporary residential option as a diversion to incarceration. • Cross-functional reentry teams that include criminal justice and behavioral health supports Specialized probation officers Assertive Community Treatment Team that includes forensic specialty Re-entry Liaisons Vocational supports
