33 <br /> 1 the need for a mobile crisis unit to respond in lieu of law enforcement. She said many 911 calls <br /> 2 could be addressed. She said they are different programs, but critical in Orange County. <br /> 3 Commissioner Fowler asked for the number of justice involved people with mental health <br /> 4 issues. <br /> 5 Caitlin Fenhagen said the self-reported number in the jail is 50%. She said it is probably <br /> 6 closer to 75%. <br /> 7 Commissioner Fowler asked if all officers have received CIT training. <br /> 8 Caitlin Fenhagen said the training is offered by Alliance. She said they do this several <br /> 9 times a year. <br /> 10 Chair Bedford said school resource officers are a priority. <br /> 11 Commissioner Fowler said she likes the ideas of social workers. She said she was in <br /> 12 support of the item. <br /> 13 Vice-Chair McKee clarified that it would be one person from each agency and not four. <br /> 14 He said it was a great leap forward. He said he hopes they will learn a lot during the grant phase. <br /> 15 Caitlin Fenhagen said law enforcement is supportive because they understand the danger <br /> 16 to their patrol officers going on calls that may not be as trained on how to respond to a mental <br /> 17 health problem. She said that they certainly don't have warm handoff opportunities during certain <br /> 18 times of the day. She said hopefully it would get officers more time to do the work that they need <br /> 19 to be doing and focusing on more serious crimes. <br /> 20 Vice-Chair McKee said he sees the benefit of having people trained to recognize a mental <br /> 21 health crisis event and be able to take a step back. <br /> 22 Commissioner Hamilton said as a social worker it's really nice to have positions so social <br /> 23 workers have a group to support each other, because it is extremely hard work. She said it is <br /> 24 only one social worker for each entity so it is also important to have officers trained. <br /> 25 Caitlin Fenhagen said this is not a substitute of a 24/7 mobile crisis team. She said that <br /> 26 the hours might be slightly different because the majority of calls from 7 to 11 pm. <br /> 27 Commissioner Hamilton said she looked forward to the data for the program. <br /> 28 Caitlin Fenhagen said the data recording for the program is very specific. <br /> 29 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if 75% of people in the criminal justice system also <br /> 30 have a mental health illness. <br /> 31 Caitlin Fenhagen said it is closer to 50% with 47% of the jail inmates self-reporting. She <br /> 32 said it might be closer to 75% in the detention facility having a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental <br /> 33 health illness. <br /> 34 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how many have substance abuse issues. <br /> 35 Caitlin Fenhagen said around 70% of the people in the jail have a self-reported substance <br /> 36 abuse issue. <br /> 37 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked about marijuana treatment restriction in the grant <br /> 38 program and how that might restrict services. <br /> 39 Caitlin Fenhagen said the grant will allow anyone that has a cooccurring disorder with a <br /> 40 mental illness will be treated. She said if marijuana is the sole substance, there is very little <br /> 41 success. <br /> 42 Chair Bedford said it would be great if a social worker or the clinical person at Freedom <br /> 43 House could be bilingual. <br /> 44 Caitlin Fenhagen said the clinician hired in the Lantern Project is Latinx and bilingual. She <br /> 45 said that because of restrictions at Freedom House, there are not a lot of people in the Latino <br /> 46 population being served. She said they also hired a bilingual person in the office who will be a <br /> 47 part time grant management employee. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton, to: <br />
