The One Mind Campaign seeks to ensure successful interactions between law enforcement and individuals with mental health conditions. The campaign focuses on uniting local communities, public safety organizations, and mental health organizations so that the three become “of one mind”. To join the campaign, law enforcement agencies must pledge to implement four promising practices over a 12–36-month time frame:
These practices include:
- Establish a clearly defined and sustainable partnership with one or more community health organizations
- Develop and implement a model policy addressing law enforcement response to individuals with mental health conditions
- Train and certify 100 percent of sworn officers (and selected non-sworn staff, such as dispatchers) in mental health by:
- Providing Crisis Response Training (CIT), Crisis Response and Intervention Training (CRIT), or equivalent crisis response training to a minimum of 20 percent of sworn officers (and selected non-sworn staff); and
- Providing Mental Health First Aid training (or equivalent) to the remaining 80 percent of officers (and selected non-sworn staff).
Over 630 agencies around the world have already taken the One Mind Pledge!
