AGENDA ITEM: Grant Application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance Programs for the FY 2025 De-Escalation and Crisis Response Training Program DEPARTMENT: Sheriff’s Office MEETING: Board of Commissioners DATE: Thursday, May 21, 2026 9:30 AM - Click to View Agenda ITEM SUMMARY SHEET COMMITTEE REPORT TO BOARD Resolution #2026-6539 Motion to approve the submission of the grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance Programs for the FY 2025 De-Escalation and Crisis Response Training Program, in the amount of $678,142, after final review and approval by Corporation Counsel and Risk Management; further, authorize the Chair of the Board of Commissioners to execute the agreement. ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY Grant Penny Luebs INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The BJA De-escalation and Crisis Response Training Program supports state, local, and tribal governments, law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, probation and parole departments, and sheriffs’ offices in developing, implementing, or expanding de-escalation and crisis response training programs that improve law enforcement responses to and outcomes for individuals in crisis who have behavioral health conditions (including mental health and substance use disorders), intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DDs), physical disabilities, and/or traumatic brain injuries. This program will equip law enforcement and correctional officers with tactical skills and strategies to effectively de-escalate crisis situations, enhance safety, and protect officer well-being. Officers trained in crisis intervention techniques are better equipped to safely de-escalate volatile situations involving individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, including those with I/DDs. The skills developed through de-escalation and crisis response training can help improve interactions with persons experiencing a crisis and optimize officers’ ability to focus on their core public safety and facility security duties. There are two main funding categories for this grant program: (1) Training for Law Enforcement Agencies and (2) Training for Jails, Prisons, and Correctional Agencies. The OCSO is applying for funding under category two (2) for Correctional Facilities in the amount of $678,142. POLICY ANALYSIS • This item will not complete grant review at the time of the May 12, 2026, PHS meeting; a grant review sign-off will not be attached. When complete, it will be uploaded for review at the time of the May 21, 2026, Full Board meeting. The deadline to submit this grant is June 3, 2026. As of May 20, 2026, this item has completed grant review and a sign-off is now attached. • Since 2018, 153 OCSO personnel have completed Crisis Response and Intervention Training (CRIT), which includes 40 hours of comprehensive training on topics in mental health diagnoses, psychiatric medications, drug abuse and dependence, cross-cultural sensitivity, and intensive training in verbal de-escalation skills while maintaining officer safety throughout. Of the approximately 400 deputies and command staff assigned to the corrections division, only 38 have completed CRIT as of the date of this application, representing fewer than 10 percent of the corrections workforce. At the current pace, this training gap will not close and does not account for turnover, new hires, or refresher training. Currently, 19 percent of the corrections workforce is eligible for retirement by the end of 2029. Additionally, in 2024 and 2025, 95 correction deputies were hired while 51 correction deputies separated from service. The training gap relative to the current training rate means the gap will remain unresolved for well over a decade without a structural change in delivery capacity. • The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness of de-escalation and crisis response skills among correctional officers, particularly for interactions with individuals in crisis who have behavioral health conditions, I/DDs, or physical disabilities, and/or traumatic brain injuries. o Objective 1: The first objective is to expand and sustain a corrections-based crisis response program that establishes a consistent, repeatable training cycle across the Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Division. o Objective 2: The second objective is to enhance the strategic application of de- escalation techniques, including innovative technologies, such as VR scenario-based training resources. o Note: A program goals document outlining specific agency objectives and performance measures is included as a separate attachment. • The OCSO will collaborate with Oakland Community Health Network on various topics such as curriculum review, guidance on clinical practices, training, use of evidence-based practices, etc. • This grant proposal seeks to expand CRIT training for correctional personnel by funding one (1) full-time deputy assigned as a dedicated Crisis Training Coordinator and back-filling overtime costs for position vacancies that occur while correctional deputies complete CRIT and in-service training. By establishing a Crisis Training Coordinator, the agency will be able to develop and deliver CRIT training in-house and utilize virtual reality training platforms, thereby closing the training gap with the correctional deputy workforce. • If awarded, one (1) FTE position would need to be created; HR action would be required. • If awarded, this would be a three (3) year grant program.

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | NOFO | ojp.gov | 21 Eligibility Program Description Application Submission Application Review Award Notices Post-Award Requirements Other Information Application Checklist Basic Information Experiencing Technical Issues Preventing Submission of an Application (Technical Waivers) If an applicant misses a deadline due to unforeseen technical issues with SAM.gov, Grants.gov, or JustGrants, the applicant may request a waiver to submit an application after the deadline. OJP will only consider requests to submit an application via alternative methods or after the deadline when the applicant can document that there is a technical issue with a government system that was beyond their control and that prevents submission of the application via the standard process prior to the deadlines. Issues resulting from circumstances within the applicant’s control, such as failure to begin the SAM.gov, Grants.gov, or JustGrants registration and application process in sufficient time, will not be considered. Requests and documentation must be sent to the OJP Response Center at OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov. Applicants should follow these steps if they experience a technical issue: 1. Contact the relevant help desk to report the issue and receive a tracking number. See Basic Information: Contact Information for the phone numbers, email addresses, and operating hours of the SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and JustGrants help desks. Reports of technical issues to the help desk must occur before the application deadline. If an applicant calls the help desk and experiences a long wait time, they can also email the help desk to obtain a tracking number. Tracking numbers are generated automatically when an applicant emails the applicable service desk, and for this reason, long call wait times for support do not relieve the applicant of the responsibility of getting a tracking number.

If an applicant has technical issues with SAM.gov or Grants.gov, the applicant must contact the OJP Response Center at OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov within 24 hours of the Grants.gov deadline to request approval to submit after the deadline. The applicant’s request will need to include: • A description of the technical difficulties experienced (provide screenshots if applicable). • A timeline of the applicant’s submission efforts (e.g., date and time the error occurred, date and time of actions taken to resolve the issue and resubmit, and date and time support representatives responded). • An attachment of the complete grant application and all the required documentation and materials (this serves as a “manual” submission of the application). • The applicant’s unique entity identifier (UEI). • Any SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and JustGrants Service Desk tracking/ticket numbers documenting the technical issue. 3. If an applicant has technical issues with JustGrants that prevent application submission by the deadline, the applicant must contact the OJP Response Center at OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov within 24 hours of the JustGrants deadline to request approval to submit after the deadline. See step 2 for the list of information the applicant must provide as part of its request. As a reminder: the waiver request will not be considered unless it includes documentation of attempts to receive technical assistance to resolve the issue prior to the application deadline. OJP will review each waiver request and the required supporting documentation and notify the applicant whether the request for late submission has been approved or denied. An applicant that does not provide documentation of a technical issue (including all information previously listed), or that does not submit a waiver request within the required time period, will be denied. For more details on the waiver process, OJP encourages applicants to review the “Experiencing Technical Issues” section in the Application Resource Guide.

Following are the basic minimum requirements for this funding opportunity. If OJP determines that an application does not include these elements, it will not proceed to merit review and will not receive any further consideration. • The application is submitted by an eligible applicant. • The requested award amount does not exceed the award ceiling. • The application is responsive to the scope of the NOFO. • The following application elements are included: o SF-424 (Grants.gov) o Proposal Narrative (JustGrants) o Budget detail form, which includes the budget items, their calculations, and explanation (JustGrants) Applicants whose application fails to meet the BMR are provided notice (including an appropriate point of contact for questions) within a few weeks after the submission due date. Merit Review Criteria Peer Review Criteria Applications that meet the basic minimum requirements will be evaluated for technical merit by peer reviewers based on how the proposed project/program addresses the following criteria: • Statement of the Problem/Description of the Issue (5%): What critical issue or problem the applicant is proposing to address with this project. • Project Goals and Objectives (15%): How the proposed project will address the identified need and the purpose of the funding opportunity. • Project Design and Implementation (30%): The strength of how the applicant will implement activities, including the soundness of the project design and how the activities align to the stated goals and objectives. • Capabilities and Competencies (35%): The applicant’s administrative and technical capacity to successfully complete this project. • Budget (15%): Completeness and cost effectiveness. Programmatic and Financial Review Criteria After the peer review, applications undergo additional programmatic and financial reviews. OJP staff may reach out to applicants during the programmatic or financial review if a submitted form is incomplete or needs to be updated. Note that OJP staff are n ot authorized to provide information on peer review scores or comment on programmatic, risk, or budget/financial reviews while the merit review is in progress. In addition to BMR and peer review criteria, other important considerations for OJP include geographic coverage, strategic priorities (including, but not limited to, the priority areas already mentioned, if applicable), available funding, past performance, and the extent to which the budget detail form accurately explains project costs that are reasonable, necessary, and U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | NOFO | ojp.gov | 24 Eligibility Program Description Application Submission Application Review Award Notices Post-Award Requirements Other Information Application Checklist Basic Information otherwise allowable under federal law and applicable federal cost principles. If cost sharing/match is not required for this opportunity, applicants will not receive higher consideration by proposing a voluntary match contribution in their budget. Risk Review Pursuant to the Part 200 Uniform Requirement s, before award decisions are made, OJP also reviews information related to applicant risk. OJP assesses whether an applicant with one or more prior federal awards has a satisfactory record of performance, integrity, and business ethics, including by (among ot her things) checking whether the applicant is listed in SAM.gov as excluded from receiving a federal award. Depending on the severity and nature of the risk factors, the risk assessment may result in the removal of an applicant from consideration or selection for award, or it may result in additional post-award conditions and oversight for an awarded applicant. In addition, if OJP anticipates that an award will exceed $250,000 in federal funds, OJP also must review and consider any information about the applicant that appears in the non -public segment of the integrity and performance system accessible through SAM.gov. Important Note on Responsibility/Qualification Data (formerly FAPIIS): An applicant may review and comment on any information about its organization that currently appears in SAM.gov and was entered by a federal awarding agency. OJP will consider such comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in SAM.gov, in its assessment of the risk posed by the applicant. Selection Process All final award decisions will be made by the Assistant Attorney General, unless a statute explicitly authorizes award decisions by another official or there is written delegation of authority to another official. This official may consider not only peer review ratings and program office recommendations, but also other factors as indicated in the “Application Review” section to make final award decisions. For additional information on the application review process, see the Application Resource Guide . U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | NOFO | ojp.gov | 25 Eligibility Program Description Application Submission Application Review Award Notices Post-Award Requirements Other Information Application Checklist Basic Information AWARD NOTICES Federal Award Notices For successful applicants, JustGrants will send a system -generated email to the Application Submitter, Authorized Representative, and Entity Administrator with information on accessing their official award package in JustGrants.

The county spans about 907 square miles, with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) overseeing 12 substations through law enforcement contracts with cities and townships, the Oakland County Jail, a centralized dispatch center, and operations that include court services, parks, and multiple cross- agency specialized units. OCSO is the sole provider of patrol and law enforcement services for more than 367,000 residents. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Division operates one of the largest jail systems in Michigan and manages a population with complex behavioral health needs. The Oakland County Jail has a rated capacity exceeding 1,500 beds. In 2024, 12,247 inmates were booked into the jail, with an average daily population of 1,126. In 2025, inmates booked into the jail decreased by 3 percent to 11,878, while the average daily population decreased by only 1.15 percent, to 1,113. The Correctional Services Division of OCSO is comprised of approximately 400 deputies and command staff assigned directly to corrections operations, with approximately 900 corrections-certified personnel agency-wide. Deputies manage individuals experiencing behavioral health conditions, substance use disorders, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injuries. In practice, the jail functions as a frontline behavioral health environment where deputies make complex decisions in unpredictable situations. On a national level, law enforcement interactions with people in mental health crisis have been highlighted in the discussion surrounding de-escalation, response to resistance and training. Currently, OCSO has an external partnership with Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) to deliver Crisis Response and Intervention Training (CRIT). Page 2 of 10 Since 2018, 153 OCSO personnel have completed CRIT, which includes 40 hours of comprehensive training on topics in mental health diagnoses, psychiatric medications, drug abuse and dependence, cross-cultural sensitivity, and intensive training in verbal de-escalation skills while maintaining officer safety throughout. Of the approximately 400 deputies and command staff assigned to the corrections division, only 38 have completed CRIT as of the date of this application, representing fewer than 10 percent of the corrections workforce. At the current pace, this training gap will not close and does not account for turnover, new hires, or refresher training. Currently, 19 percent of the corrections workforce is eligible for retirement by the end of 2029. Additionally, in 2024 and 2025, 95 correction deputies were hired while 51 correction deputies separated from service. The training gap relative to the current training rate means the gap will remain unresolved for well over a decade without a structural change in delivery capacity. Correctional deputies regularly encounter individuals in crisis within a confined and controlled environment. These situations require effective communication, recognition of behavioral cues, application of de-escalation techniques, and sound decision-making under pressure. These are skills that benefit from continual development. Without consistent training, preparedness varies from shift to shift and assignment to assignment. This increases the risk of escalation during critical incidents and leads to inconsistent responses across the facility. Two corrections -specific critical incidents that are closely tracked and monitored are cell extractions and response-to -resistance. A cell extraction is the forcible removal of an inmate from a cell by a trained team; every cell extraction is recorded. Likewise, all response-to-resistances are recorded and classified as a corrections-based use-of-force incident; use-of-force is defined as the amount of effort required by a correction deputy to compel compliance by an unwilling subject. In 2025, OCSO recorded 215 cell extraction incidents and 370 response-to-resistance incidents within the Oakland County Jail. Page 3 of 10 Both categories are trending upward — cell extractions increased 76 percent from 122 in 2022 to 215 in 2025; corrections-based response-to -resistance incidents increased from 241 in 2024 to 370 in 2025, a 53 percent increase in a single year. Based on documented incident patterns and supervisory review, an estimated 75 to 80 percent of individuals involved experienced a mental health crisis or active substance use. This links behavioral health conditions to the most resource- intensive and high-risk incidents within the facility. For all individuals booked into the jail facility, a certified registered nurse (RN) conducts a full medical assessment, including a behavioral health screening. In 2024, inmate caseworkers received 3,613 new mental health intake referrals, recorded 2,228 crisis referrals, and conducted 1,997 active suicide and behavior watch reviews. This behavior health screening provides deputies with advanced awareness of behavioral health needs prior to inmate contact. De-escalation is already emphasized, foundational instruction is in place, and all correctional deputies are certified under MCOLES (Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards) and MSCTC (Michigan Sheriffs’ Coordinating and Training Council) standards, which include a dedicated 16-hour module on prisoner mental health, suicide awareness, and behavioral crisis response. The agency has both the training content and the commitment to provide CRIT training. However, the current delivery model of CRIT cannot deliver crisis response and de- escalation instruction at the level or efficiency this workforce requires. Project Goal and Objectives The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness of de-escalation and crisis response skills among correctional officers, particularly for interactions with individuals in crisis who have behavioral health conditions, I/DDs, or physical disabilities, and/or traumatic brain injuries. Page 4 of 10 Objective 1: The first objective is to expand and sustain a corrections-based crisis response program that establishes a consistent, repeatable training cycle across the Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Division, which directly aligns with Objective 1.1 of the grant NOFA. Objective 2: The second objective is to enhance the strategic application of de-escalation techniques, including innovative technologies, such as VR scenario-based training resources, which directly aligns with Objective 1.2 of the grant NOFA. A program goals document outlining specific agency objectives is included as a separate attachment to the application. Applying under category 2, this grant proposal seeks to expand CRIT training for correctional personnel by funding one full-time deputy assigned as a dedicated Crisis Training Coordinator and backfilling overtime costs for position vacancies that occur while correctional deputies complete CRIT and in-service training. By establishing a Crisis Training Coordinator, the agency will be able to develop and deliver CRIT training in-house and utilize virtual reality training platforms, thereby closing the training gap with the correctional deputy workforce. Additionally, due to 24/7 coverage and minimum staffing requirements in a correctional facility, vacancies that occur when deputies attend training must be covered, and overtime is incurred for other officers to backfill or cover those positions. This funding request for backfill overtime costs required for both CRIT and in-service sessions ensures access to training without compromising facility safety or staffing levels, allowing more deputies to participate and complete training. Design Overview and Implementation This proposal assigns a dedicated Deputy Crisis Training Coordinator to manage and deliver corrections-based crisis-response training, creating a continuous training capability within the OCSO’s Training Unit enabling the agency to move from an availability-based model to a structured, repeatable program. The agency is expanding and systematizing an existing capability. Page 5 of 10 CRIT: Moving In-House The most significant change this project enables is the shift from an off-site model to an in-house program for CRIT delivery. Although OCSO is a key stakeholder in the existing county- wide CRIT program, the agency must share available student seats with other first responders and is subject to the external partner’s schedule. With a dedicated Coordinator in place, CRIT will be delivered at OCSO facilities, on OCSO’s schedule, with approximately 15 deputies per session across four sessions per year, reaching an estimated 60 deputies annually. The external CRIT partnership continues as a curriculum resource, but primary delivery moves in-house. De-Escalation and In-Service Training In addition to formal CRIT, the Coordinator will deliver monthly de-escalation and crisis response in-service sessions across all shifts, reaching deputies between CRIT training sessions and reinforcing core skills year-round. This ensures de-escalation is treated as a regular operational expectation rather than a one -time event. The dedicated Coordinator will work with OCSO’s internal Co-Responder Clinicians and mental health counseling staff to support the delivery of CRIT training and to ensure clinical expertise guides the content used for training. This collaboration will include participation in scenario design, integration of real-world case examples, and co-facilitation of training blocks focused on recognizing behavioral health conditions, communication strategies, and appropriate crisis response. Clinicians will also contribute to post- training reviews, providing insight into behavioral cues, escalation pathways, and alternative intervention strategies, reinforcing the connection between training and real-world application. Training Content Training will be delivered through 40 hours of classroom instruction, scenario-based exercises, and structured after-action review, focused on: • Recognition of behavioral health crises in a custodial setting, including mental illness, substance use, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injury Page 6 of 10 • Communication and de-escalation techniques, including verbal de-escalation, active listening, and trauma-informed approaches • Decision-making for appropriate and proportional response in dynamic custodial situations • Scenario-based training on common facility incident types with structured post-training debriefings • Officer wellness and awareness of cumulative stress exposure Training Systems The agency currently operates two virtual reality training platforms: VirTra and APEX Officer. VirTra is a multi-participant immersive simulation system that enables groups of deputies to work through realistic scenarios involving communication, de-escalation, and use-of-force decision-making in real time. APEX Officer is a VR-based decision-making platform that enables deputies to work through crisis-response scenarios and receive immediate feedback. Both systems support correctional-specific crisis response scenarios and are currently integrated into the OCSO’s training infrastructure. This project commits to a minimum of 12 scenario-based training sessions per year, integrated into both formal CRIT and monthly in-service delivery. Community Behavioral Health Partnership OCSO has an existing partnership with the Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN), the designated community mental health authority for Oakland County. OCHN will provide quarterly curriculum review and clinical guidance on engaging individuals with serious mental illness, I/DDs, and co-occurring disorders in correctional settings. An implementation timeline/task plan outlining activities to be completed over the grant period is included as a separate attachment to the grant application. Page 7 of 10 Capabilities and Competencies The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office has the personnel, infrastructure, and operational experience to implement this program immediately upon award. OCSO Training Unit The OCSO Training Unit currently provides recurring in -service and specialized training across the agency, including corrections-specific programming. In 2024, the Training Unit delivered a 40-hour subject control course to 205 deputies, completed a 10-week Corrections Training Officer program with 35 deputies, and conducted a 96-hour Re-Entry and Core Training Corrections Academy for laterally hired deputies. The Training Unit also manages all firearms qualifications and oversees all Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) licensing requirements. Additionally, the Training Unit maintains an established CRIT partnership with OCHN and operates both the VirTra and APEX Officer VR simulation systems. OCSO currently operates its corrections academy in-house. Moving CRIT delivery to an in-house model creates an opportunity to integrate crisis response concepts directly into academy training for newly hired deputies, addressing the training gap upon hiring. With a dedicated Crisis Training Coordinator in place, foundational CRIT content can be introduced during the academy before deputies begin working inside the jail facility. Topics covered can include recognition of behavioral health conditions, verbal de-escalation, and communication strategies for individuals in crisis. The agency maintains full compliance with MCOLES and MSCTC certification standards, including the MSCTC’s 16-hour foundational module on prisoner mental health and behavioral crisis response. De-escalation and mental health awareness are existing priorities for the OCSO Training Unit. This project propels the level at which training is delivered across the full corrections workforce, the fidelity with which evidence-based CRIT and scenario tools are applied, and the efficiency with which training reaches every deputy on every shift. Page 8 of 10 The Training Unit’s existing CIT infrastructure provides a strong foundation of support and resources for the CRIT Coordinator to create a sustainable and effective training program that will enable the agency to close the existing training gap. . OCSO currently has 12 CIT-certified Train-the-Trainers (TTT), 4 credentialed subject-matter expert instructors, and 28 trained role players available to support scenario-based exercises. The existing infrastructure of trained personnel will directly support the Coordinator from day one. Administrative Capacity OCSO’s manages multiple federal and state grant awards, working directly with Oakland County’s management and budget team to ensure grant compliance. The agency has experience managing programmatic and financial reporting in the JustGrants system, compliance with 2 CFR 200, and has successfully completed the Office of Justice (OJP) Grants Financial Management and Grant Administration Training. . Relevant prior experience includes OCSO’s administration of the COPS Office Promoting Access to Crisis Intervention Teams (PACT) grant, which funded crisis intervention team training and officer crisis response programming, and the BJA Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) grant, which supported substance use identification and treatment connection for individuals in the justice system. Both awards were administered successfully and are directly relevant to the scope of this project. Key Personnel Todd Hill, Captain, Homeland Security, Wellness and Professional Development Division: Captain Hill has direct programmatic oversight of the Crisis Training Coordinator and Training Unit. Captain Hill holds an Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership (Oakland University, 2020), is an FBI National Academy graduate (2022), is a CIT Train-the-Trainer (40 hours, 2024), and has 30 years of service with OCSO. Captain Hill implemented the Oakland CIT Training Program and serves on both the Oakland County and Macomb County CIT Advisory Councils. Page 9 of 10 Crisis Training Coordinator (to be assigned): The Crisis Training Coordinator will be a sworn OCSO deputy. Required experience for the position include direct corrections operational experience, documented familiarity with crisis intervention principles, and prior exposure to crisis response training. Prioritization will be given to candidates with existing CIT participation or certification eligibility. Responsibilities include delivery of CRIT, and monthly in-service training, VR system management, liaison with OCHN, data collection, financial reporting, award condition compliance, and budget monitoring throughout the performance and semi-annual BJA reporting. Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN): Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is the designated mental health authority for Oakland County and partners with OCSO for programs such as CIT, Crisis Response, and MAT, in addition to several other mental health initiatives. OCHN will provide quarterly clinical guidance on best practices for engaging individuals with mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders in correctional settings. Data Collection and Reporting For this project, training data will be tracked through OCSO’s existing training management system, supplemented by project-specific instruments, including pre- and post- assessments, scenario -based performance ratings, and shift-level training coverage metrics. These data points will allow the agency to measure both participation and competency gains across the corrections workforce, as well as identify gaps in training access between shifts and assignments. OCSO will collect operational data through internal reporting systems, including use-of- force incidents, response-to-resistance reports, and behavioral health–flagged events. Page 10 of 10 The behavioral health flag will allow the agency to isolate incidents involving individuals in crisis and evaluate trends in both frequency and response patterns over time. The linkage between training exposure and operational outcomes provides a measurable way to assess whether training is influencing real-world performance. The expected outcomes of this data collection approach are threefold. First, increased and more consistent training participation across the division, demonstrated through improved shift- level coverage and a measurable reduction in the current training backlog. Second, measurable improvements in deputy competency, reflected in pre/post assessment gains and scenario evaluation performance. Third, over the 36-month performance period, OCSO will evaluate whether increased training frequency and standardization contribute to more consistent decision- making and improved outcomes during high-risk and behavioral health–related incidents, including trends in use-of-force and response-to-resistance events. All performance measure data will be compiled by the Crisis Training Coordinator for semi-annual BJA submission. De-escalation and mental health awareness are core values of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. With only 38 of the 153 OCSO personnel trained in CRIT being correction deputies the current training pace for correction deputies falls far below that of patrol deputies. This proposal seeks to expand access to CRIT training to the correctional deputy workforce by moving to an in-house training model utilizing classroom instruction and VR scenario-based exercises; additionally monthly de-escalation and response in-service trainings will help maintain and reinforce the skills. By adding one dedicated Crisis Training Coordinator, the years-long training gap will transform into a systematic, recurring program that reaches every correction deputy, giving deputies the crisis response skills necessary to de-escalate and provide the best outcome when encountering crises within the jail facility.

Brown Cyril Davis, DNP Yolanda Giles, M.D. Bijaya A. Hans, M.D. Jennifer Korenchuk, Ph.D. Christopher Smith Yvette Woodruff Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is pleased to support this application by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO). As Oakland County's public mental health authority, OCHN plans, funds, and oversees behavioral health, substance use disorder, and developmental disability services for approximately 30,000 county residents annually. Crisis intervention is consistently among our highest -identified community service priorities. OCHN and OCSO have a well-established partnership grounded in shared commitment to improving outcomes for justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and co-occurring substance use disorders. OCSO actively participates in the county-wide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program that OCHN leads, and we are proud to serve as a formal partner under this application. The need documented here is urgent. Fewer than 10% of OCSO correctional deputies have completed CRIT training, even as jail data confirms that behavioral health and substance use conditions drive the vast majority of the facility's highest-risk incidents. Closing that gap requires exactly the kind of dedicated, in -house training infrastructure this grant would create. OCHN commits to providing quarterly curriculum review, clinical guidance, and training alongside the dedicated OCSO Training Coordinator, ensuring content reflects current evidence -based practices for engaging individuals with serious mental illness, I/DDs, and co -occurring disorders in correctional settings. Captain Hill's leadership, the agency's trained instructor cadre, and its investment in VR simulation systems reflect an organization fully prepared to implement and sustain this program. OCHN fully endorses this application. We look forward to continuing to build on our partnership with OCSO in support of safer, more humane responses to behavioral health crises across Oakland County.
