The 2023 Police, Treatment, and Community (PTACC) Deflection and Pre-Arrest Diversion Training Summit was held in Seattle, Washington on October 28-November 1, 2024. Over 400 people attended the summit, including COSSUP grantees. Attendees and presenters included law enforcement officers and other first responders, behavioral health practitioners, community-based service providers, deflection program managers, researchers, and officials from the local, state, and national levels. There were also representatives from several national and international organizations, many of whom belong to PTACC and were at the summit to learn more about deflection, serve as subject matter experts (SMEs), and present at one of the many plenary sessions. As the BJA COSSUP National Deflection TTA Center, convened COSSUP grantees that were in attendance. Approximately 75 individuals came to this convening, where CHJ TA center staff introduced themselves, provided an overview of TA resources, explained the COSSUP Racial Equity in Deflection Pilot Site TTA, and provided an opportunity for grantees to network with each other. A representative from Abt Global, another COSSUP TTA provider was also in attendance.
During networking, grantees were broken into smaller groups and after introductions, they discussed: How has your COSSUP funding impacted your community? What deflection pathway(s) are you currently using? What makes your program stand out/unique/innovative? What is a challenge you are currently facing?
