requirement of this award.
Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements--whether a condition set out in full below,a
condition incorporated by reference below,or a certification or assurance related to conduct during the award period--
may result in the Office of Justice Programs("OJP")taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the
award. Among other things,the OJP may withhold award funds,disallow costs,or suspend or terminate the award.
The Department of Justice("DOJ"),including OJP,also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false,fictitious,or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award(or concealment
or omission of a material fact)may be the subject of criminal prosecution(including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273),and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false
claims or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C.3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,that provision

recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.

OCR Letter to All Recipients
September 26,2018 •
The Honorable Jean Stothert
City of Omaha
1819 Famam Street,Ste 300
Omaha,NE 68183-0300
Dear Mayor Stothert: •
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs,Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of Justice
(DOJ)is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP,the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,color,national origin,
religion,sex,or disability in funded programs or activities,not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013,President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994(VAWA)by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race,color,national origin,religion,sex,disability,sexual orientation,or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October I,2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at https://ojp.gov/abouVocr/vawafaqs.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws •
All recipients of federal financial assistance,regardless of the particular funding source,the amount of the grant award,or the number of
employees in the workforce,are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly,the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition,based on regulatory criteria,the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews,audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
•
•
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency(LEP)Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C.§2000d,recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency(LEP). See U.S.Department of Justice,Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons,67 Fed.Reg.41,455(2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals,please see the website
https://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment of Faith-Based Organizations and Safeguarding Constitutional Protections Related to Religion
The DOJ regulation,Partnerships with Faith-Based and Other Neighborhood Organizations,28 C.F.R.pt.38,updated in April 2016,
prohibits all recipient organizations,whether they are law enforcement agencies,governmental agencies,educational institutions,houses of
worship,or faith-based organizations,from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund explicitly religious activities. Explicitly "
religious activities include worship,religious instruction,or proselytization. While funded organizations may engage in non-funded
explicitly religious activities(e.g.,prayer),they must hold them separately from the activities funded by the DOJ,and recipients cannot
compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ
are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion,religious belief,a refusal to hold a
religious belief,or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice. Funded faith-based organizations must also provide written
notice to beneficiaries,advising them that if they should object to the religious character of the funded faith based organization,the funded
faith-based organization will take reasonable steps to refer the beneficiary to an alternative service provider. For more information on the
regulation,please see the OCR's website at https://ojp.govlabout/ocdpartnerships.htm.
SAAs and faith-based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act(Safe Streets Act)of 1968,as
amended,.34 U.S.C.§ 10228(c);the Victims of Crime Act of 1984,as amended,34 U.S.C.§20110(e);the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974,as amended,34 U.S.C.§ 11182(b);and VAWA,as amended,
34 U.S.C.§ 12291(b)(13),contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions,the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA)on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff,even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions. Please consult
with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in
employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S.Department of Justice on the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance:Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of/964(June 2013),available at https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/pdfstUseofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients should be
mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or promotion
may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin,resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the Advisory,
recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted,recipients should also incorporate an analysis
of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans(EEOPs)(see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act,must meet two
obligations:(I)complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP(see 28 C.F.R.pt.42,subpt.E)and(2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination(see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c),.205(c)(5)).
•
Meeting the EEOP Requirement
An EEOP is a comprehensive document that analyzes a recipient's relevant labor market data,as well as the recipient's employment
practices,to identify possible barriers to the participation of women and minorities in all levels of a recipient's workforce. As a recipient of
DOJ funding,you may be required to submit an EEOP Certification Report or an EEOP Utilization Report to the OCR. For more
information on whether your organization is subject to the EEOP requirements,see https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/eeop.htm. Additionally,you
may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at(202)616-1771 or by e-mail at
EEOPforms®usdoj.gov.
•
• Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award,your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color,national origin,religion,or sex,after a due-process hearing,from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency,your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
. Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
•
SAAs must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations,written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients,methods to monitor subrecipients'compliance with civil rights requirements,and a program to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition,SAAs must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration(MOA)that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement,see https://ojp.govlfunding/Explore/StateMethodsAdmin-FY2017update.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance,please contact us.

City of Omaha-Heartland Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)
FY 2018 Justice Mental Health Collaboration Program Competitive(JMHCP) Grant
Category 3 - Competition ID: BJA-2018-13907
Description of the Issue
An ominous challenge for criminal justice system personnel is ensuring an effective,
collaborative response during encounters with high-risk individuals in mental health crisis.
Individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse issues (CMISA) are in urgent
need of services, not incarceration. A coordinated effort in the Omaha metropolitan areal
resulted in the implementation of the first Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)program modeled after
the University of Memphis evidence-based approach. Recently, a BJA FY 2017 JMHCP—
Category 2 grant funded the Heartland CIT to hire a .5 FTE CIT Coordinator and grow annual
CIT trainings for law enforcement officers and criminal justice agency civilian personnel from
two to three classes (serving approximately 40 individuals per class). The FY 2017 success is
evident with 92% of 851 CIT response calls diverting-individuals from emergency protective
custody. Having met the Category 2 goals, including strategic planning guide completion,
Heartland CIT seeks BJA FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 funding to further increase public
safety and reduce recidivism among high-risk people with mental illness or CMISA.
Nature and Scope of Problem.Each month,the 11 Omaha-area emergency departments
average 1,364 consumers seeking emergency mental health services—more than 16,000 Omaha
residents per year. The mental health needs are even higher among Omaha's criminal justice
system-involved populations. At the national level,jail population estimates note 11%to 19%of
males, and 22% to 42%of females have serious mental illness (MI). Similar rates are evident in
the Omaha-area Douglas County Corrections Center(DCDC),which houses individuals arrested
1 The greater metropolitan area of Omaha is the largest city in Nebraska with 924,129 residents(U.S.Census
Bureau,2012-2016 ACS 5-year estimates).
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 1 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
by the Omaha Police Department(OPD) and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. The DCDC
April 2018 diagnostic report indicates the most common disorders were anxiety/ADHD (32.6%),
depression/PTSD (27.1%), psychosis (13.5%), adjustment disorder(13.4%), or bipolar disorder
(10.6%). Given the general prevalence of mental health issues in the Omaha community and high
prevalence among system-involved populations,the law enforcement and criminal justice agency
personnel demand for CIT training is substantial.
Among this same population, substance use disorders (SUD)present an added challenge of
CMISA.Nationally in 2016, approximately 18.5%of the 44.7 million adults with mental illness
also met the SUD criteria, and 25.4%of the 10.4 million adults with serious mental illness met
the SUD criteria. SUD rates among jail populations are as high as 80%, with opioid use rates
nearing 20% (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2017; Feucht& Gfroerer, 2011). It follows the
proportion of local DCDC inmates with CMISA is also high. With the growth of opioid use in
the U.S., system-involved populations are at especially high-risk for opioid overdoses when they
.return to the community(Binswanger, Blatchford, Mueller, & Stern, 2013) requiring a unique
response from criminal justice personnel.
Opioid overdoses and related deaths in the U.S. have increased dramatically in the past
decade, with particularly sharp recent increases (Hedegaard, Warner, &Minino, 2017; Rudd,
Aleshire, Zibbell, & Gladden, 2016). A shocking 33,091 individuals died in 2015 because of •
synthetic or naturally occurring opioids (Rudd, Seth,David & Scholl, 2016). The greater Omaha
area is experiencing these same concerning national trends. In response, DCDC has developed an
opioid withdrawal protocol with utilization between 19 and 48 individuals per month in their
facility. First responders are also deploying naloxone to this same population in the community.

Response to the problem. The proposed project will allow Heartland CIT to increase public
safety, reduce recidivism among high-risk people with mental illness and co-occurring mental
illness and substance abuse issues, and improve Omaha's response to opioid abuse by addressing
six goals. The Heartland CIT will: (1) increase the number and types of trainings available;
(2) assess the feasibility of geographical expansion of training and service provision; (3)use
data from the revised Behavioral Health Incident Tracking form (BHITF) and geo-coded data to
identify "hot spots" and improve the mental health crisis response in these areas; (4)
enhance CIT capacity by increasing time allocated by the CIT Coordinator(.5 FTE to 1 FTE)
and adding a mental health co-responder embedded in a police precinct; (5) attend BJA-
established law enforcement/mental health learning sites training sessions to further build
knowledge; and, (6) increase the number of officers in the city equipped with naloxone kits
(nasal spray that reverses an opioid overdose).
• Project Design and Implementation
The BJA FY 2018 JMHCP funding will allow the City of Omaha to meet two priority
considerations: Use of assessment to identify and prioritize treatment and case management, and
Program evaluation. We will also meet the Target Population Requirements under Category 3.
Each of the six goals and associated implementation plans follow in detail.
Goal 1. The Heartland CIT will increase the number and types of trainings sessions
available. To improve criminal justice system response to individuals with CMISA,the
Heartland CIT will expand their CIT-related program offerings. If funded,the available training
sessions will result in three objectives: (1) increase the number of CIT training sessions, (2)
increase the types of CIT related training, and (3) add suicide-specific assessment training.
Objective 1. Expand the number of CIT training sessions. During the BJA FY 2018
program period,the Heartland CIT will continue to utilize the evidence-based University of
Memphis Model to train lawenforcement, corrections staff, and other first responders for mental
health encounters. The CIT typically provides 3-40 hour Crisis Intervention Trainings targeting
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 3 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
response to adults in crisis each year. Funding will support an additional CIT training sessions to
be held at the University of Nebraska at Omaha(UNO). As a result, CIT trainings will be held
in February,May, and August at Metropolitan Community College and in October at UNO. This
added training opportunity will provide CIT training for 40 additional law enforcement and
first responder personnel each year. The Heartland CIT also provides an annual 8-hour Crisis
Intervention Training that targets response to youth in crisis. Youth Crisis Intervention Training
will continue at the Nebraska Humane Society campus in December,providing youth mental
health crisis training to 30 officers and first responders.
Objective 2. Increase the types of CIT related trainings. The Heartland CIT will begin
offering a new condensed, 8-hour refresher Crisis Intervention Training annually for Crisis
Intervention Trained officers. This refresher training will provide updated information on best
practices for mental health interventions and response.
During the project period, the Heartland CIT will also organize an 8-hour Mental Health
First Aid (MHFA) training. The Heartland CIT will offer this training during the OPD Law
Enforcement Academy. MHFA is a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) evidence-based program that teaches officers how to identify and respond to signs
of mental illness and substance use disorders. While CIT training is valuable for officers who
have "street experience," MHFA is a beneficial training for new officers to promote mental
health literacy.
To serve the increasing interest from correctional officers, emergency room personnel, social
workers, 911 dispatchers, and other first responders and community providers in crisis
intervention training,the Heartland CIT will begin offering Crisis Intervention Partners (CIP)
companion training. CIP is a 2-day workshop discussing recognizing and understanding mental
illness, de-escalation skills, and considerations for working with special populations.
Objective 3.Add suicide-specific assessment training. The Heartland CIT will train
OPD officers to use the evidence-based Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale(C-SSRS)
to enhance officers' ability to identify risk for suicide. The C-SSRS is a screening tool designed
for law enforcement use when emergency protective custody of an individual is under
consideration. The C-SSRS is a series of simple questions that officers pose to the individual.
The individual's responses help to identify suicide risk level, assess the severity and immediacy
of that risk, and gauge the level of support needed. Officers can also use the C-SSRS as a peer-
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 4 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
screening tool for fellow officers who have encountered trauma, or suffer compassion fatigue.
.The Heartland CIT Co-Responder will train officers to use the C-SSRS in annual 20-minute
training sessions during roll calls at each precinct.
Goal 2. Assess the feasibility of geographical expansion of training and service
provision. During the planning phase,the Heartland CIT will explore the expansion of training
programs to Central Nebraska. While Omaha is the largest city in the state and has a population
of 446,970 (U.S. Census Bureau 2016 population estimates), the mental health needs of the
remaining 1.4 million residents are underserved. Expansion would provide the Heartland CIT
with the ability to assist more agencies in responding to individuals with mental illness, and to
work to increase public safety, reduce recidivism among high-risk people with mental illness and
CM ISA, and improve the state's response to opioid abuse.
Goal 3. Use data from the revised Behavioral Health Incident Tracking form (BHITF)
and geo-coded data to identify "hot spots" and improve the mental health crisis response in
these areas. The Omaha Police Department(OPD) is the largest law enforcement agency in
Nebraska responding to the majority of the mental health calls in the state. Funding will support
OPD to convert the paper BHITF form into an electronic version available in the departmental
electronic reporting system. This conversion will provide more timely collection of data,
improve compliance with form completion, thereby enhancing the data available for use.
All Heartland Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) law enforcement partners are required to use a
Behavioral Health Incident Tracking Form (BHITF)to collect demographic characteristics,
opioid indicators, and observed behaviors of any individual encountered with mental illness or
involved in a mental health crisis incident. The data collected on this form is instrumental in the
study of and improvement in the areas response to mental health. The BHITF data and data
available through OPD's Crime Analysis Unit will also assist the City of Omaha with reporting
on the project performance.
During the planning phase, the Heartland CIT will work with the Douglas County/Omaha
Graphic Information Systems Department to overlay BHITF data with mental health incidents
across Omaha. This effort will identify crisis areas within the city and allow for an improved,
targeted and coordinated response. Data will provide Heartland CIT with evidence based
knowledge to proactively target and market services in specific geographical areas, with the goal
of reducing mental health crisis and opioid abuse.
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 5 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
Goal 4. Enhance CIT capacity by increasing time allocated by the CIT Coordinator(.5
FTE to 1 FTE) and adding a mental health co-responder embedded in a police precinct. In
2018, the Heartland CIT added a part-time CIT Coordinator to assess capacity and need for
services, establish and maintain relationships with community stakeholders, oversee day-to-day
operations of the CIT, and assist in tracking program data. With additional grant funding,the •
CIT Coordinator position will become full-time, enabling this staff person to engage additional
community stakeholders, research and tailor additional evidence-based training curriculum, and
coordinate the expansion of case management and mental health services housed inside of
additional Omaha Police Department precincts.
Currently, OPD has one headquarters and four police precincts; a fifth precinct is scheduled
to open in 2019. The OPD has 883 sworn officers and 171 civilian personnel. Lutheran Family
Services collaborates with the Omaha Police Department(OPD)to have two dedicated mental
health co-responders. One co-responder is located at OPD Central Headquarters and the other is
located in the Southwest police precinct. The mental health co-responders coordinate wellness
• checks, accompany officers on wellness checks with consumers, help officers identify behavioral
health resources, work with individuals with multiple system contacts, and assist with CIT
training. The co-responders also ride with and assist officers in responding to mental health
encounters (providing on-site assessment and de-escalation), provide training to officers,provide
welfare checks and proactive outreach to citizens with a history of mental health encounters with
law enforcement, and assist in data collection for the program.
With this funding, the Heartland CIT will be able to add one additional mental health co-
responder embedded at a third police location/precinct, greatly enhancing the mental health
response provided to the citizens of Omaha. This additional position is expected to further reduce
the number of persons with mental illness who are.incarcerated by diverting with mental health
services on scene.
Goal 5. Attend BJA-established law enforcement/mental health learning sites training
sessions to further build knowledge. During this project period,the Heartland CIT will
annually attend the National Crisis .Intervention Team conference. This conference keeps the
Heartland CIT Committee informed on best practices for mental health response, and allows for
valuable networking with other communities dealing with, and providing response to, mental
illness. The Heartland CIT committee members will also visit three separate BJA-recommended
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 6 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
Law Enforcement Mental Health Learning Sites. These learning sites represent a diverse cross-
section of perspectives and program examples, and are dedicated to helping other jurisdictions
improve their responses to people who have mental illnesses. These sessions are expected to
assist the Heartland CIT with expansion and improvement of its services.
Goal 6. Increase the number of officers in the city equipped with naloxone kits (nasal
spray that reverses an opioid overdose). OPD officers respond to opioid abuse and overdoses
daily. The City of Omaha will use BJA FY2018 funding to purchase naloxone kits and distribute
them to Omaha Police Department Uniform Patrol Bureau officers and Gang Unit officers. These
officers have been trained to administer naloxone to any individual that they encounter that
appear to be, or are known to be, overdosing on opioids. During this program,training officers
will prepare officers on how to best respond to individuals who are experiencing a mental health
crisis and are abusing opioids. •
Capabilities and Competencies
A collaboration of the Heartland Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) committee members will
manage and staff the BJA FY2018 JMHCP. The Heartland CIT Committee is comprised of
professionals from law enforcement, mental health providers, hospital emergency departments,
and individuals who have mental illness in their families and serve in an advocacy capacity. The
CIT committee has been working together to offer CIT training classes since 2006. CIT
committee members will attend the CIT National Conferences and the BJA-established Law
•
Enforcement/Mental Health learning site-training sessions. These partners will be responsible for
the management and coordination the project and the expansion of Heartland CIT services.
The City of Omaha Grant Administration.The City of Omaha will serve as the applicant
and fiscal agent for the FY 2018 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program. The City
will provide: fiscal management; administer grant-funded contracts, disburse grant funds;
monitor expenditures; and communicate with the Grant Program Administrator. The Finance
Department has existing accounting and grant management procedures. All grant and matching
funds will be maintained in separate accounts, distinct from other revenue sources. All grant
draw-downs and expenditures will be attached to the specific grant and tracked separately from
all other expenditures. The City of Omaha complies with all requirements of the A-133 Single
Audit Act, as amended, June 1996.

Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
The Omaha Police Department. The Omaha Police Department(OPD)has been a certified
law enforcement agency through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement
Agencies (CALEA) since March 2001. In 2016, OPD received the CALEA Meritorious Award,
recognizing agencies accredited for 15 or more continuous years. To attain accreditation,the
department must adhere to a list of standards issued from CALEA including standards that
address the department's response to calls for service from individuals facing mental health
crisis. These standards include: guidelines and procedures for dealing with persons suspected of
being mentally ill; training coordinated with mental health professionals; transportation of
mentally ill; and alternatives to arrest to ensure the best treatment options are used to keep those
with mental illness out of the criminal justice system. The Omaha Police Department(OPD)was
awarded its fifth re-accreditation by CALEA in July 2016. The OPD houses the Co-Responders
who provide mental health crisis response in conjunction with OPD officers. The OPD is a
member of the Heartland CIT Committee and has a Precinct Captain that is the designated
Heartland law enforcement liaison. This Captain will attend the CIT National Conferences and
the BJA-established Law Enforcement/Mental Health learning site training sessions.
Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare. Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare provides behavioral
health services in the six county metropolitan region of Omaha,Nebraska. Region 6 assists with
CIT training and is a Heartland CIT committee member. The Region 6 Mobile Crisis Response
Program is a comprehensive, community-based service providing law enforcement, area shelters,
and the Nebraska Family Helpline 24/7 access to licenses mental health practitioners aiding
individuals in mental health crisis. The program reduces the lasting impact of mental health crisis
in the Omaha area, reduces use of incarceration and EPC placements, and links individuals with
community-based services. Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare's Quality Improvement Specialist
will provide data oversight and assist in the coordination and collection of data and work with
the project research partner.
Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska,Inc. Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, Inc.
(LFS) has been a Heartland CIT partner and CIT committee member since 2006. LFS provides
behavioral health services to children and adults by offering individual, family and group
counseling, and community-based speakers, seminars and workshops on behavior health issues.
LFS provides trainers for all CIT course offerings and employs the CIT Coordinator and the
Co-Responders embedded in OPD precincts.
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 8 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
The CIT Coordinator. The CIT Coordinator is a retired OPD Captain who served the
citizens of Omaha for over twenty-two years. She is CIT trained and assisted in the BJA FY
2017 Justice Mental Health Collaboration Program.Now employed by LFS, she will coordinate
all BJA Implementation Guide activities with the Technical Assistance Provider, and the CIT,
Mental Health Assessment, and Refresher training. She will attend CIT National Conferences
and the BJA-established Law Enforcement/Mental Health learning site training sessions.
The Co-Responders. The Mental Health Co-Responders embedded in OPD precincts are
licensed behavioral health clinicians. Their expertise aids in diverting individuals in mental
health crises from unnecessary incarceration and/or hospitalization, improves timely access to
mental health services, and reduces the burden on officers handling repeated mental health calls
for clients with persistent mental health concerns. These Co-Responders are trained on the
operations and response provided by 911 Dispatchers and on OPD response protocols and
procedures.
Research and Evaluation Partner. Dr. Gaylene Armstrong will serve as the research partner
on this project. As Director of the University of Nebraska at Omaha School of Criminology and
Criminal Justice, Armstrong brings academic and organizational resources to the project
including campus facilities and research support. Armstrong has substantial experience in
criminal justice program and policy evaluation. Applicable to this project is her recent program
evaluation of a SAMSHA project funded in Harris County, Texas that targeted specialized
treatment and service provision for system-involved female offenders exhibiting CMISA
presenting with a history of victimization. Working collaboratively with Harris County,
Armstrong provided timely feedback to the task force and funders on performance measures,
program processes, and successes determined through a process and outcome evaluation.
Plan for Collecting the Data required for this Solicitation's Performance Measures
During the 6-month planning phase, Dr. Armstrong will collaborate with the Heartland CIT
to [1] shape planning and implementation of the added trainings; [2] guide sustainable
modifications to administrative forms and databases within the Omaha Police Department
(OPD); and, [3] determine agency designee who will facilitate data sharing to meet the
performance measure metrics. Armstrong will be responsible for presenting an overview to the
Heartland CIT of data elements required for performance measure metrics. She will develop a
City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 9 of 10
Heartland Crisis Intervention Team(CIT),FY 2018 JMHCP Category 3 Competition ID:BJA-2018-13907
sustainable protocol to obtain data from task force partners to ensure grant requirements are met
and regular reporting may continue beyond the project period.
To support the CIT's responsivity to BJA's Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program
Performance Measure data reporting requirements, Armstrong will develop a quarterly
performance metrics report draft in line with BJA's online Performance Measurement Tool
(PMT) requirements based on activities in the prior three-month period. She will present reports
at quarterly task force meetings for discussion, input and feedback. Upon conclusion of the
meeting, The City of Omaha Grants Administrator will be responsible for entering the reported
data into the BJA Performance Measurement Tool (PMT). Dr. Armstrong will also support the
development of all required grant deliverables as needed.
In addition to meeting performance measurement goals outlined by BJA, Dr. Armstrong will
develop and lead a substantial implementation evaluation of the CIT program and training efforts
identified in this proposal. The implementation evaluation will be based on the Consolidated
Framework for Implementation Research model (http://cfirguide.org/tools.html). The
implementation evaluation efforts will assess the fidelity of the program implementation in
comparison to the evidence based University of Memphis model. Currently, Region 6 Behavioral
Healthcare analyzes training course evaluations completed after every CIT module. This
feedback serves as a general guideline of fidelity to the Memphis Model for Crisis Intervention
Team training. An overarching goal of the implementation evaluation is to expand upon the
current assessment approach and facilitate a deeper level of feedback to the Heartland CIT. This
feedback will encourage discussions related to internal improvements that may be needed.
. Evaluation efforts will also assess the effectiveness of training based on training participant
knowledge retention.
In collaboration with the Heartland CIT, Armstrong will also design an outcomes assessment
to measure the impact of increased CIT training on crisis response data and other key
performance measures. Outcomes from these efforts will also enable the Heartland CIT to
demonstrate the need for sustaining CIT in our communities, including continued expansion
within Omaha and outstate Nebraska as additional resources are identified.
