Findings from the study indicate that officers make assessments based on information from dispatch, collateral contacts, and behavioural observations on the scene. The authors also found that neighbourhood context shaped the assessment process due to variations in types of information that were available to officers in different locations.

Race and Justice 20/11/2018 Research article Concentrations and Specialisation of Mental Health–related Calls For Police Service Over the past two decades, research has consistently shown that criminal activity concentrates at places. Places also exhibit specialization in criminal activity, largely based on criminal opportunities.

Overall, the authors find that mental health–related calls are more concentrated in space than criminal events and that specialization relates to social- and health-related services for the mentally ill.

The current opioid epidemic now poses one of the country’s most serious medical challenges. The dramatic climb in opioid overdose deaths in the United States paralleled the booming legal market in prescription opioids. More than 100 Americans, on average, die each day from opioid overdose. Since 2000, the number of overdose deaths from opioids has quadrupled to nearly half a million people. Naloxone administration among law enforcement officers has been gaining momentum. Throughout the country, law enforcement agencies have been initiating overdose reversal programs to stem the rising tide of deaths from opioids. As of March 2018, a total of 2,300 law enforcement agencies in 42 states reported that they administered a naloxone rescue program.
