HomeMy WebLinkAboutCSS 2023-04-24 Item 1E - Contracts - Co-Responders with Sound HealthCity of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Services and Safety Committee FROM: Police Chief Eric Dreyer BY: Police Chief Eric Dreyer CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: April 13, 2023 SUBJECT: Sound Health Contracts For Co -Responder Program ISSUE The Tukwila Police Department is seeking committee approval to authorize the Mayor to sign the two co -responder contracts with Sound Health. BACKGROUND In accordance with the City' s goals of a High -Performing & Effective Organization and a Positive Community Identity & Image for all Tukwila community members, the Police Department recognized that there was a need for collaboration of services when it comes to mental health and chemical addiction issues within the City of Tukwila. Our objective was to reduce the number of mentally ill and chemically dependent interventions that requires jail and hospitalizations. We also recognized the need for diversion of mentally ill and chemically dependent youth and adults from entering the criminal justice system. Co -responder programs throughout the nation have been effective in reducing the number of people entering the criminal justice system, while providing appropriate resources for their illness. The department needs to provide services that provide the appropriate high-quality services for our community members. DISCUSSION The Tukwila Police Department co -responder program is a collaborative approach designed to address the City of Tukwila' s desire to ensure Tukwila' s mentally ill and chemically - dependent community members have access to community treatment in lieu of incarceration for non-violent misdemeanor offenses, where the individual is identified by officers and confirmed by a co -responder to be demonstrating behaviors symptomatic of a mental disorder and/ or co-occurring disorder (combining mental health behavioral disorders with substance use disorders). The program accomplishes this goal by: 1) embedding mental health professionals (aka co -responders) within the police department who respond to calls when officers ask for professional (consultive) assistance by the MHP's; 2) working with and educating officers in traditional methods employed by mental health professionals to de-escalate individuals demonstrating behavioral health concerns as well as assist in providing support to identify symptoms stemming from mental illness versus chemically altered behaviors; 3) ensuring appropriate community services are accessed to facilitate diversion, including community after- care services are available to individuals diverted from incarceration. {EFM2727195.DOCX;2/13175.000001/ 51 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 The program was first implemented as a pilot program in 2021 and has proven to be a great asset for both the Police Department and the community. The Police Department and Sound Health have since re-evaluated the program for funding and continuation of the program and have decided to move forward with contracts for two co -responders. Contract for the current co - responder will be good through December 31, 2024 and contract for the second co -responder, who's scheduled to start his employment on April 24, 2023, will be good through December 31, 2023. To ensure coverage for every day of the week, the first co -responder will work from Wednesday thru Saturday 12pm to 10pm while the second co -responder will work from Sunday thru Wednesday from 12pm to 10pm. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Tukwila Police Department will be utilizing federal forfeiture funds to pay for the current co - responder in the amount of $102,000 per year through December 31, 2024. Since the second co -responder will not start until April 24, 2023, his salary will be prorated from that start date and will be calculated based on the salary of $102,000 per year. The Department will be utilizing a grant to pay the second co -responder from April 24, 2023 through June 30, 2023, and the Police Department funds from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. We will explore other financing options to cover the second co -responder position beyond the end of 2023. RECOM MENDATION The Police Department would like to request the Committee to authorize the Mayor to sign the two co -responder contracts and forward to the May 8, 2023 Council Of The Whole meeting and May 15, 2023 Regular meeting.
