Several new initiatives in Minnesota integrate mental health providers into law enforcement departments with the goal of better serving individuals with mental health and substance use needs. But how do we know collaborations between law enforcement and social services work?

With input from law enforcement and county agencies implementing such initiatives, Wilder Research and the East Metro Crisis Alliance developed an evaluation framework and indicators that similar programs can use to assess effectiveness.
