Policing Citizens With Mental Illnesses
For your second written assignment, your Chief has come to you concerning the increase of police encounters with those who have untreated mental illnesses. The Chief would like you to create a memo with your suggestions on what programs, strategies, or practices your department should consider implementing for policing the mentally ill.
Please watch the following video for tips on how to complete this assignment.
Consider the following.
- Training: What specific training might improve how the police respond to those with untreated mental illnesses?
- Use of Force Policy: Should it remain the same or be adjusted for this population?
- Partnerships: Can partnerships with other government and community agencies be helpful? If so, name these agencies and what the resulting collaboration will produce.
- Support: What are you basing your recommendations on? Is there research supporting their use?
Your memo should be two to three pages long, double-spaced. You do not need to use the APA template, but you will need to include at least two academic resources in APA format.
Don’t forget to submit your assignment.
