Persons with Mental Illness

The criminal justice system often becomes the first point of contact for treatment of persons with mental illness. As such, professionals in the system must have strategies and processes for interacting ethically and safely with members of this population and for promoting the welfare of individuals with mental illness and the safety interests of the community. There are many programs that provide frameworks for working with this population. The crisis intervention team (CTI) or “Memphis Model” is considered one of the gold standards. It was developed in partnership with the Memphis Police Department and University of Memphis and is now promoted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Police are often faced with difficult conflicts in their career roles. They are expected to protect the public from a number of dangers that law enforcement just a few decades ago were not asked to police. For example, police today are expected to play an important role in helping to fight terrorism and prevent illegal immigration.
