The development of effective crisis response programs is a multi-faceted process requiring close collaboration between law enforcement, behavioral health, and disability stakeholders. Strategic planning is critical to these efforts, including building community partnerships, mapping community resources, delivering training, and evaluating program performance. Presented by the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Academic Training to Inform Police Responses, this workshop will feature law enforcement executives whose agencies are participating in strategic planning and training for crisis response. Panelists will discuss their agencies’ experiences with the Academic Training Initiative in resource mapping, partnership building, and the delivery of crisis response and intervention training.
