INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) recognizes that law enforcement capabilities are
enhanced by having access to mental health professionals. By utilizing a co-responder model, law
enforcement and mental health clinicians respond to calls for service together, providing an
improved and immediate response to crisis situations by conducting a more accurate needs
assessment on scene for the person in distress, and connecting them and their families to
community-based resources. The OCSO is requesting to continue an interlocal agreement with the
Oakland County Health Network (OCHN) for a co-responder team program, which consists of a
collaborative team comprised of law enforcement with the support of an embedded licensed
behavior health clinician. The OCHN full-time licensed clinician responds to calls with OCSO
deputies and provides case consultation, crisis intervention, service coordination, and
referrals/linkage to resources for individuals. The interlocal agreement is for FY 2024-FY2026,
October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026 and includes a not to exceed amount of $380,975 for
salary and fringe benefits of the full-time clinician, technology costs, vehicle/mileage, and
supervision.
