Coventry Observer 20/11/2018 News How Police Officers Assess For Mental Illnesses The authors examined how police officers assess for mental illnesses and how those assessments vary by location. Researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 officers working in two police districts in one city. 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. The findings indicate that there is a need to improve the quality of all three sources of information.

In the fall of 2016, on the heels of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division’s Investigative Report, a cohort of Morgan State University’s School of Social Work faculty, trained in the results-based accountability (RBA) model, developed and implemented an interactive workshop on cultural competency with 70 community partners from law enforcement. Cultural competence is an inherit cornerstone of a viable community and police partnership. This article shares how outcome-based performance strategies such as RBA can facilitate a pathway for enhancing community generational cultural competence leading to public safety. 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. However, recent research has also shown that criminal events are only a relatively small fraction of calls for police service, generally 20–30%. The authors investigate the spatial concentrations and spatial specialization of mental health–related calls for police service in a number of municipalities in British Columbia. 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. Victims and Offenders - Registration at source 20/11/2018 Research article The Opioid Epidemic and the Role of Law Enforcement Officers in Saving Lives The authors discusses the nature and extent of opioid addiction in the United States and examines the critical role that law enforcement officers can play in reversing the lethal effects of opioid overdose by implementing opioid-reversal programs with naloxone, which is a safe, effective, and easy-to-administer drug. 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.

In 2017, the BPD received a total of 681,546 calls for service; of those, 5,953 calls specifically involved people with mental illnesses. To better meet the needs of these individuals, the BPD has a strong history of working with the Boston Emergency Services Team (BEST) of the Boston Medical Center. This partnership resulted in the creation of the BPD’s co-response program, which was launched in January 2011 as a means to team Boston police officers with BEST clinicians. The goal of the program is to provide community-based psychiatric crisis services to stabilize nonviolent persons experiencing psychiatric emergencies, diverting these individuals from arrest and the criminal justice system when appropriate. In this article, we explore the development and implementation of the co-response model, both nationally and in Boston. Next, using quantitative co-responder data, we examine short-term outcomes of the BPD co-responder program. Finally, using qualitative data from officer interviews, we discuss the perspectives of police officers on the utility and effectiveness of the co-responder approach in Boston.
