AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a center of excellence in community policing and behavioral health within the executive office of public safety and security. The center's mission is to decrease unnecessary arrests and incarceration rates, as well as the use of emergency departments, for individuals with behavioral health conditions. The center will provide crisis intervention training for municipal police, serve as a clearinghouse for best practices, and assist municipalities with developing partnerships between law enforcement and human service providers. The bill also creates a Criminal Justice and Community Support Trust Fund to support jail diversion programs, training for law enforcement, and the creation of patient-focused community services. The center will be overseen by a planning board and must publish annual reports on its activities and effectiveness.
