General Project Information
Project Title: CITY OF CLEARWATER MENTAL HEALTH CHECK TEAM
Subgrant Recipient: City of Clearwater
Implementing Agency: City of Clearwater Police Department
Project Start Date: 10/1/2017 End Date: 6/30/2019
Problem Identification
Clearwater Police Department (CPD) officers are often the first point of contact for individuals
struggling with diagnosed and un -diagnosed mental health conditions in the City of Clearwater. In
many instances, officers encounter the same individuals time and time again. These encounters
can become volatile at times, with the threat of harm to both the officer and the person in crisis. In
an effort to reduce the number of these law enforcement encounters that often end in arrest, and
connect these individuals with the appropriate mental health resources, CPD -- in partnership with
Directions for Living (Directions) -- will establish the Mental Health Check Team (MHCT) Project.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five Americans is affected by
mental illness in a given year. An individual who is in the midst of a mental health crisis will no
doubt find that the first responder to calls for assistance is a police officer. These encounters with
law enforcement unfortunately sometimes end with the individual being arrested and jailed. The
Stepping Up Initiative, whose mission is to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in
jail, estimates that 2 million people with serious mental illness are admitted to jails across the
country each year. These individuals are much more likely to stay in jail longer and have a higher
rate of being incarcerated again in the future than those not affected by mental illness. The
financial and human cost of the criminalization of mental illness is staggering.
At Pinellas County Jail, it costs approximately $125 per night to house jail inmates. According to
Miami -Dade County Judge Steve Leifman, one of the nation's foremost authorities on the
criminalization of mental illness, people with mental illnesses in this country will be jailed four to
eight times longer than someone without a mental illness. This can be due to the person's
inability to understand and obey jailhouse rules or the long period of time that he is awaiting
transfer to a psychiatric hospital. Here in Pinellas County, it is easy to see how quickly the cost of
incarceration for the mentally ill can escalate.
According to the World Health Organization, jails are hardly the ideal environment for anyone
suffering from a mental illness. The very nature of a jail is certain to have a negative impact on
anyone's mental health, but particularly on one who is already struggling with mental illness.
Some of the challenges for the mentally ill in jail include overcrowding, violence, noise, enforced
solitude, lack of privacy, lack of meaningful activity, isolation from social networks, and inadequate
health services, especially mental health services.
Mentally ill inmates are also much more likely to commit suicide while incarcerated. According to
the Bureau of Justice Statistics, suicide has been the leading cause of death in jails every year
since 2000. In 2013, a third (34%) of jail inmate deaths were

due to suicide. The suicide rate increased 14%, from 40 suicides per 100,000 jail inmates in 2012
to 46 per 100,000 in 2013. These numbers are absolutely unacceptable in a compassionate
society.
In Clearwater, the mentally ill have presented a real challenge for the CPD and its officers over
the years. Sadly, Clearwater police officers regularly deal with a tremendous number of calls for
service involving people with mental health issues. CPD currently averages over 900 such calls
for service per year. Clearwater has a homeless population that suffers from a disproportionate
level of mental health problems. In addition, CPD officers are often called to private residences, in
various locations throughout the city, to deal with someone struggling with mental health issues or
in the midst of a mental health crisis. Mental illness does not discriminate - the people that CPD
officers deal with are individuals from a variety of economic, educational, racial and social
backgrounds.
There are a significant number of mentally ID persons in Clearwater who precipitate repeated calls
for service, causing a huge drain on police resources. CPD is often called multiple times to
respond to the same individual. Each of these encounters has the potential to become volatile, as
the person may become agitated and resist any attempts of assistance. This can result in officers
needing to resort to use of force or in extreme circumstances, SWAT team call -out, in order to
compel the individual to submit to an involuntary mental health examination (Baker Act). Neither of
these options is in the best interests of police or the individual in crisis, with a tremendous risk of
injury to everyone involved.
CPD has always been in the forefront of proactive community policing and is committed to
addressing the challenges presented by the mentally ill in Clearwater. Currently 90% of all sworn
CPD officers have undergone Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) training, with the goal of having
100% of the department trained. This project is being proposed in order to reduce overall
encounters between Clearwater police and those with mental health issues experiencing a mental
health crisis and to divert these individuals to mental health services rather than jail. CPD realizes
that mental illness is just that - an illness. By partnering with the mental health experts at
Directions, CPD aims to proactively engage individuals who are high utilizers of police services
due to mental health issues in an attempt to intervene before they experience a mental health
crisis and thereby reduce the incidents that police will need to use force against a person suffering
from mental illness. Without the implementation of this project, a segment of Clearwater's mentally
ill population will continue to draw on police resources and some of those individuals could end up
in jail rather than receiving the treatment they need. They and CPD officers will be far more likely
to encounter a dangerous, and perhaps deadly, situation.
Currently the budget for The City of Clearwater will not make allowances for a Mental Health
Check Team. Grant Funding will provide the assistance necessary for this essential program that
will ensure the integrity and professionalism in the delivery of police services.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
In an effort to reduce the number of law enforcement encounters and to connect mentally ill
individuals with the appropriate mental health resources, CPD and Directions will establish the
Mental Health Check Team (MHCT). The MHCT will be coordinated by a Clearwater police
sergeant and comprised of sworn Clearwater CIT

trainer officers who are current members of the Hostage Negotiations Team, as well as a
Directions Mental Health Navigator. The MHCT will work in partnership to make regular contact
with individuals who have received law enforcement responses in the past related to mental
health issues.
CPD will contract with Directions for the provision of Mental Health Navigators for an hourly rate of
$65. Directions will provide priority access to mental health services for those individuals who are
linked to services by the MHCT. Directions will also provide uniform attire for the Navigator to
ensure they are easily identified as Directions staff by the person experiencing a mental health
crisis.
CPD's Crime Analysis Unit will establish a list of individuals who may benefit from this type of
engagement based on an analysis of calls for service. The MHCT sergeant and Mental Health
Navigators will meet monthly to review the list for eligibility. Input from law enforcement and the
Mental Health Navigators will be considered in determining which individuals should be engaged
and in what priority. Some of the factors to be considered are:
* Two or more (Baker Act) BA -52 calls within previous 12 months;
* Any Violent or Armed Emotionally Disturbed Person (EDP) calls for service within the previous
12 months;
* Two or more EDP calls within the previous 12 months; and
* Prior relationship or engagement with Directions.
Once the individuals have been selected to be part of this project, the MHCT will attempt to make
monthly contact with and engage those individuals who have been identified as having frequent or
potentially volatile encounters with law enforcement as a result of their mental health condition.
The team will attempt to contact the individuals for the purpose of engagement, evaluation, and
referral to the appropriate resources. The team anticipates contacting 12 individuals per month,
twice per month.
A positive, non -threatening approach is a critical aspect of engagement of the mentally ill. For this
reason, sworn MHCT members will wear the Hostage Negotiator uniform consisting of a polo
style shirt and khaki pants. While this approach is important, it should never compromise officer
safety. MHCT officers should always use appropriate officer safety practices during the approach
and encounters with these individuals. A ballistic vest and duty belt with attendant equipment and
radio are mandatory. The civilian Directions Navigator will be provided a ballistic vest for use at
his/her discretion.
The MHCT will make two attempts to contact individuals who have been identified as potential
project participants. The MHCT will explain the purpose of the project and attempt to have the
individual voluntarily participate in the engagement and referral process. If the individual refuses
to communicate or participate, a second attempt will be made the following month. If the MHCT is
unsuccessful in convincing the individual to participate after two attempts, the person will be
removed from the contact list. If successful, the MHCT will ask the individual to sign a medical
release and participation form to be maintained by Directions. The individual will be provided
instructions and contact information for engaging directly with Directions.
MHCT officers will notify the CPD communication center via the radio to advise that the team is
conducting a "welfare check" when contacting these individuals and

provide the location. In order to ensure full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPPA), MHCT officers will not document or maintain any information
pertaining to the individual contacted. They will merely clear the welfare check with one of the
following comments without making reference to the individual's medical/psychological condition
or diagnosis:
* MHCT No -contact with (Name of individual)
* MHCT (Name of individual) agreed to assistance
* MHCT (Name of individual) refused assistance
An information or police report related to the contact will only be created in instances where law
enforcement action is required (Arrest/BA-52).

financial assistance between a Federal awarding
agency or pass-through entity and a non -Federal
entity that, consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6302, 6304, is

of which is to transfer anything of value from the
Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to the
non -Federal entity to carry out a public purpose
authorized by a law of the United States (see 31
U.S.C. 6101(3)); and not to acquire property or

administrative burden and cost. The micro -purchase
threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation
at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions). It is $3,500
except as otherwise discussed in Subpart 2.1 of that
regulation, but this threshold is periodically adjusted
for inflation.
Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) means all direct
salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits,
materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the

expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs,
tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships,
participant support costs and the portion of each

Period of performance means the time during which
the non -Federal entity may incur new obligations to
carry out the work authorized under the Federal
award. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through
entity must include start and end dates of the period
of performance in the Federal award (see §§200.210

information, including, but not limited to social security
numbers; passport numbers; credit card numbers;
clearances; bank numbers; biometrics; date and place

financial records; and educational transcripts. This
does not include PII that is required by law to be
disclosed. (See also § 200.79 Personally Identifiable
Information (PII)).
Questioned cost means a cost that is questioned by
the auditor because of an audit finding 1) that resulted
from a violation or possible violation of a statute,
regulation, or the terms and conditions of a Federal
award, including for funds used to match Federal
funds; 2) where the costs, at the time of the audit, are
not supported by adequate documentation; or 3)
where the costs incurred appear unreasonable and do
FY17 / SFY2018 JAG Standard Conditions Page 2 of 16
Rev. 09/2018
not reflect the actions a prudent person would take in
the circumstances.
Simplified acquisition threshold means the dollar
amount below which a non -Federal entity may
purchase property or services using small purchase
methods. Non -Federal entities adopt small purchase
procedures in order to expedite the purchase of items
costing less than the simplified acquisition threshold.
The simplified acquisition threshold is set by the
Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 C.F.R. Subpart
2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. §
1908. As of the publication of this part, the simplified
acquisition threshold is $150,000, but this threshold is
periodically adjusted for inflation. (Also see definition
of Micro -purchase, 2 C.F.R.§ 200.67)
Subaward is an award provided by a pass-through
entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry
out part of a Federal award received by the pass-
through entity. It does not include payments to a

considers a contract.
Subrecipient means a non -Federal entity that
receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to
carry out part of a Federal program; but does not
include an individual that is a beneficiary of such
program. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of
other Federal awards directly from a Federal
awarding agency.
Supplies means all tangible personal property other
than those described in §200.33 Equipment. A
computing device is a supply if the acquisition cost is
less than the lesser of the capitalization level
