44 <br /> EXHIBIT C : ORANGE COUNTY DATA SOURCES AND NOTES <br /> Municipal Police Departments <br /> Mental Health calls to 911 are taken from Orange County 911 records and reported separately for each Orange County law <br /> enforcement agency. Two types of episodes are included: those coded as MH-nonviolent and those coded as MH-violent. Examination <br /> of the potentially violent descriptions suggested that most of these episodes could be addressed at the recommended Crisis-Diversion <br /> Facility. Data were compiled for the last nine months of 2020. <br /> Disturbance/Trespass 911 calls associated with homelessness are recorded separately. Virtually all these calls involve Chapel Hill (87%) <br /> and Carrboro (8%). A small percentage of these may be transported to Crisis-Diversion Facility. These diversions may grow as <br /> programs to address homeless population evolve. Data were compiled for the last nine months of 2020. <br /> CHPD records were reviewed: data was compiled from Chapel Hill Police Records Management System (RMS) for 2015—2020. <br /> These records provide data on suicide and SUD episodes and for non-IVC commitments (voluntary and emergency medical). <br /> The CHPD data are used to make inferences for episodes in the other Orange County municipalities based on population. Currently, <br /> most of these calls result in transport to the UNC ED. <br /> Commitment episodes reported for LE agencies above do not include IVCs. All OC-initiated IVCs are reported under Magistrate. <br /> Emergency Medical Services <br /> EMS 911 calls were compiled from ESO data for three categories: MH-related (includes suicidal ideation), opioid-related, and alcohol- <br /> related for 2018 — 2020. <br /> Most episodes labeled as transported without sirens or lights can be diverted to Facility: less then 34% are too agitated to receive care <br /> at the Facility. These episodes do not include treated and released or AMA situations. <br /> 42 <br />
