We are looking for policies and procedures followed in a trauma-informed police department. Policies and procedures for both staff, police officers and other staff in the department, as well as policies and procedures and practices for engaging with the public both in the police department and in the community.
Thank you.

Hi, Elaine.
I work for the Houston Police Department and previously managed a demonstration grant that focused on making our agency more trauma-informed. I'd be happy to share some resources with you if you'd like to connect via email. I can be reached at cheryl.murray(at)houstonpolice(dot)org.
Cheryl, I did send you an email at: cheryl.murray(at)houstonpolice(dot)org
I do hope you got it. Thank you
This is a great introductory video for police on interviewing trauma victims: https://vimeo.com/118541908
Contact the Forsyth County, Georgia Sheriff's Office. The entire state of Georgia is following their lead in having a Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) and Mental Health Clinician join a sheriff on mental health 911 calls. The results have included fewer arrests, more voluntary commitments, and the clinician can sign an involuntary commitment when deemed necessary. Contact Terry Hawkins at (770) 781-2222
