Implementation Considerations

Strategy 5: Build resiliency through improvements in work processes

  • Monitor (through review of case records and one-on-one meetings with front-line officers) when and how officers use additional components and connect these to client outcomes
  • Ask officers who use additional components less why this is so
    • Work to address any barriers to using additional components that they identify

Strategy 6: Collaborate with agencies toward a common goal of improving client outcomes and promoting public safety

  • With clients’ permission, work with social service agencies to which they are connected to identify steps that can be taken to improve their environment (e.g., for clients experiencing housing instability, work with local housing agencies to facilitate change in location)
  • Work with public transportation authorities to secure subway and/or bus passes
    • Discounts may be available if passes are purchased in bulk
  • When providing transportation resources, work with court actors (judges and prosecutors) to ensure that officers have discretion to provide these resources to clients

Strategy 7: Build resiliency by altering client involvement in key decisions

  • Consult with clients to determine (a) if environmental restructuring is beneficial overall and, if so, (b) what aspects of their environment (e.g., peer group vs. physical location) should be focused upon
  • Ask clients what type of transportation resources (e.g., bus or subway passes) they are most in need of

And while we have your attention, this is a reminder to 1. carry naloxone, 2. don't keep it in your car bc that can expose it to extreme temperatures, and 3. support your local harm reduction orgs FDA approves over-the-counter Narcan. Here's what it means https://t.co/2zRV0BPp8J
