Component Jail/Arrest Diversion Program:
The City of Somerville will use grant funds to continue its police department's jail/arrest diversion program to provide an array of pre-arrest and pre-arraignment diversion
from arrest services for Somerville residents that are impacted by behavioral health challenges. The Somerville JDP program is staffed by 1 FTE clinician, although part of their
time (0.45 FTE) is supported by another grant. The program provides safe and appropriate assessment, clinical supports, in-depth referrals and follow-up to Somerville
residents who have behavioral health and/or addiction challenges who are at risk of arrest and incarceration. The JDP coordinator works synergistically with the COHR
(Community Outreach, Help and Recovery) unit. The JDP coordinator works with Somerville officers on scene in non-emergency cases to encourage connection to supports.
Staff may also provide supports, de-escalate crisis and work on a follow-up basis as well. Staff may help individuals who are summoned or before the court navigate the justice
system and find treatment-based solutions instead of jail. In-state behavioral health-related trainings may be considered for grant support during this contract term, subject to
prior approval by DMH. The clinician records appropriate incidents in the JDP database. Collaboration with the Center for Police Training in Crisis Intervention is also expected
as part of grant operations as well as attendance at statewide forums related to JDP. DMH funds are subject to initial state and federal fiscal appropriations and any
subsequent mid-year budget revisions.
