Webinar for Fulton County on Evidence Based Prosecution of Domestic Violence

CSG Justice Center staff held 88 contacts (via phone and email) with FY18-FY23 Second Chance Act Category 3 grantees in the month of November (9 SCA Co-Occurring, 32 SCA Substance Use Disorders, 19 SCA Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry, and 21 SCA Pay for Success)

This webinar will focus on strategies to enhance collaboration between law enforcement officers, school staff, and other stakeholders to prepare safety plans designed to enhance security, operationalize these plans, and conduct effective post-event debriefings that inform future operations. This virtual event will be led by a panel of law enforcement and school safety professionals that will share their insights on securing these extracurricular events. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the panelists in a question-and-answer session.  

CSG Justice Center staff held 90 contacts (via phone and email) with FY18-FY23 Second Chance Act Category 3 grantees in the month of September (9 SCA Co-Occurring, 33 SCA Substance Use Disorders, 20 SCA Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry, and 21 SCA Pay for Success)

As first responders, police officers and their behavioral health partners regularly encounter individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Education and collaborative partnerships can enhance the safety and effectiveness of these encounters and help to build community trust. This session will focus on what officers and crisis response teams need to know about IDD and how they can form effective community partnerships with IDD advocates and organizations.

This session will examine how law enforcement can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of veteran mental health and how collaborative efforts can improve responses. Representatives from the Veteran’s Health Administration will provide webinar participants with an overview of their organization’s mission, the resources they can provide, and how law enforcement involvement with veteran’s can present unique challenges and play a critical role in ensuring veterans receive the help they need during crises.

The second session of the Reducing Housing Barriers to Jail Diversion Community of Practice introduced participants to diversion opportunities that can occur before people ever come into contact with the courts through community-led and law enforcement efforts. Participants had the opportunity to discuss their experiences engaging in these kinds of efforts previously and learned how they can practically apply the Zero Returns to Homelessness initiative to support these efforts in the future.
