The types of calls were identified based on a successful program in Eugene, Oregon called Crisis Assistance Helping Out on the Streets (CAHOOTS). A program similar to CAHOOTS is currently under a pilot implementation in the cities of Oakland, Hayward and Fremont, Alameda County is evaluating the efficacy of the program for countywide implementation. The call types included in the CAHOOTS response are arguments, welfare checks, suicidal ideation, public intoxication, non-criminal juvenile matters, and civil standby. In addition to these call types, a similar model may also include non- emergency medical calls, though those calls are not included below. One of the considerations still to be determined is who would respond to the community needs based on legal authority, time of day, and safety of those responding. Another agency with an alternate response model is the City of San Diego. San Diego has a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) that pairs a clinician with a police officer to respond to calls for service for those in a behavioral health crisis. In this model, the officer and clinician drive an unmarked vehicle and the officer is generally not in uniform, though the officer has the full complement of safety equipment on his/her person if needed. Santa Clara County is currently undergoing a pilot of this program in different parts of the County. Other model programs include officers in uniform with a clinician in the passenger seat driving marked police vehicles and responding to mental health calls in addition to other responsibilities. It is important to recognize that reducing the number of calls responded to by a police officer through an alternate mental health response model does not translate to corresponding reduction in the need for officers. Many of the calls indicated in Table 5 are non-emergency in nature, meaning that a reduction of officers on patrol would affect our emergency and non-emergency response times.
