Small Change Can Make a Big Difference

Best Practices on Data Collection Align Data Collection with Program Goals Improve officer confidence in responding to CIT calls (measure effectiveness of CIT training) Improve officer and consumer safety (measure use of force, injury rates) Redirect individuals with mental illness from the judicial system to the health care system (measure disposition of calls) Consider Data Sources Paper/Digital/Shared Sources

CIT Response to Mental Health CFS Breaking it Down CIT Training Overall CFS Mental Health CFS CIT Response to Mental Health CFS

Basic Data Points Basic 40 Hour CIT Participation #/Percentage of sworn personnel #/Percentage of civilian personnel (telecommunications, animal control, etc.) #/Percentage EMS/Fire/Jail Other Advanced CIT Training Participation Youth, Veterans, Refresher’s, Train-the-Trainer, etc.

Basic Data: Calls for Service (CFS) Overall CFS-all calls Of the overall CFS, how many were Mental Health Calls Identified upon dispatch encounters dispatched as another call that ends up as a mental health call Officer’s self initiated contacts that involve a mental illness Of the Mental Health Calls, how many were responded to by CIT Officers Number of mental health calls and encounters responded to by CIT-trained officers Number of mental health calls and encounters responded to by non-CIT officers

Intermediate Data Points (in addition to Basic) Disposition of the call Use of Force - Decrease Use of Force and Injury rates (person living with mental illness and officers) Note—Use of force data may show CIT officers using as much or more force than other officers --as they may be dispatched to, or are requested by other officers on the higher risk calls. 

Disposition of CIT CFS 1 2 3 4 Resolved on scene Voluntary transport to treatment (including warm hand-offs to mental health services that arrive on scene) 3 Involuntary transport to treatment 4 Arrest Disposition of CIT CFS

Advanced Data Points-in addition to basic and intermediate Did encounters include use of a weapon by person in crisis?  If so, what kind (knife, gun, other)? Did the encounter include an attempt to hurt oneself? Others? Did the encounter include evidence of substance use (drugs/alcohol)? Did Law Enforcement notify a Case Manager or Mental Health Center? Is the individual a repeat LE involved consumer (high frequency utilizer)? Length of time on the call? Location -type of location as well as actual.  This will allow agencies to identify patterns and develop strategies to address (ex: if a certain transit hub is high volume- or if most are residential).  This can also inform training.   Was the consumer a youth, adult or senior citizen? Consumer feedback
