In their efforts to support police-mental health collaboration (PMHC) and to encourage high-quality partnership-based interventions, The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center developed a PMHC self-assessment tool. This tool helps law enforcement agencies and their behavioral health partners assess their efforts in responding to people with mental illnesses and/or co-occurring substance use conditions. After taking the self-assessment, agencies will receive a unique action plan to help enhance their efforts. This tool is geared toward communities at all stages, from start-up to advanced.
