AI Summary
This bill establishes the Center of Excellence in Community Policing and Behavioral Health, a partnership between the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS), the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the Departments of Mental Health (DMH) and Public Health (DPH), and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Mass). The center will serve as a centralized resource for cost-effective and evidence-based mental health and substance use crisis response training programs for municipal police officers, with the goal of decreasing the unnecessary arrest and incarceration of people with behavioral health conditions. The center will develop and implement crisis intervention training curricula, provide technical assistance to cities and towns, and establish metrics for success and evaluation of these programs.
