Many times, the police are the first to respond to an individual in
crisis; even those involving mentally ill. While we see evidence of
positive change, there are still shortcomings when it comes to
criminal justice response in the behavioral health system. There is
a lack of access, availability, continuity, coordination, and
responsiveness. But we see accomplishments to changes in attitudes
and behaviors, through such programs like Crisis Intervention
Specialist Training, CIT Training and Mental Health First Aid which
have been well received. Changing Times: Transforming Culture and
Behaviors for Law Enforcement proposes a shift to divert those in a
behavioral health crisis away from incarceration and into
treatment, as well as invites Law Enforcement intervention away
from the criminal justice system and into treatment. The authors
successfully blend the theoretical with hands-on experience
throughout the book, enabling the reader to understand the
influences of Law Enforcement's tradition and other forces that
drive attitudes, culture and behavior and how to bring change. The
additional and difficult task ahead is to bring about systemic
change in culture and a concurrent change in attitudes and
behaviors. Changing Times proves to be the reliable and accessible
reference for those intent on bringing change to the vital effort
of diversion.
