Case management team

Law enforcement officers work with behavioral health professionals and pretrial and probation officers to develop specific solutions to reduce the likelihood someone will have repeat interactions with law enforcement. This approach–which often includes outreach and follow up–aims to keep people connected to mental health and community services and following their treatment plans.
