The Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP) is a program under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) designed to reduce criminal justice involvement for people with mental health conditions or mental health and co-occurring substance use conditions. Led by the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, JMHCP Connect and Protect TTA is specifically focused on helping law enforcement and behavioral health agencies work together to improve their responses to people experiencing crises in their communities.
Project Overview
The National Policing Institute is collaborating with the CSG Justice Center in offering training and technical assistance to Connect & Protect Grantees. Specifically, NPI facilitates a Community of Practice to inform law enforcement agencies’ data collection practices, offer guidance on how to assess evaluation readiness, and highlight strategies to identify research partners and select appropriate evaluation designs to examine the implementation and impact of crisis response training and programs. More generally, NPI offers subject matter expert guidance in the development of resources informed by research and best practice for the field and provides tailored technical assistance to Connect & Protect Grantees by request.
