Mental health calls to the police can be challenging for many reasons. One of the primary problems with sending the police is that they are not usually properly trained to handle a person experiencing a mental health crisis. The past few years have seen shifts from a law enforcement to a service response. The Co-Responder model melds police officers and social service clinicians with the goal of improving services while maintaining safety for the responders, the public, and the patient. Dr. Vaughn Crichlow, the dean of the School of Justice Studies at Roger Williams University joins the podcast to discuss his recent study exploring the perspectives of police and clinicians and their perceived impact of the co-responder program.
Main Topics
- Both officers and clinicians bring different perspectives that needed to be understood by each other to develop a successful co-responder program.
- The research uncovered different themes, such as sense-making, collaboration, and safety, that will be important for agencies interested in developing a co-responder model.
- The public believes these programs are important, but there can still be hurdles in their acceptance if they have questions about police legitimacy.
- The co-responder model does not replace the police; it is a collaborative approach to handle these calls for service.
