Resolution - Police:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City of Lubbock and its Police Department, to execute an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement, and all related documents, with the Lubbock Regional MHMR Center DBA StarCare Specialty Health System, for the creation of the Lubbock Community Crisis Intervention Team (LCCIT).
Item Summary
The Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the City of Lubbock Police Department (LPD) and StarCare Specialty Health System, will be used to establish a community-based initiative of experienced professionals to engage individuals experiencing crises related to behavioral health. The LPD will provide law enforcement services, and StarCare will provide qualified mental health professional services. This purpose of this partnership is to:
Provide the Lubbock Community more appropriate behavioral health population-based needs assessments, by leveraging community resources, partnerships and collaborations;
Allow LPD and StarCare to work together to integrate emergency behavioral health screening and evaluation in the field;
Allow for data analysis for impact/efficacy of the pilot program in the City of Lubbock, utilizing reports; and
Help disengage emergency responders from behavioral health calls so that such limited resources can be made available to respond to high priority calls.
The agreement will be in effect from June 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022.
