Crisis Intervention Team Program Miami-Dade County

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PREVALENCE OF MENTAL ILLNESS Miami-Dade County is home to the largest percentage of people with serious mental illnesses of any urban community in the United States. 9.1% of the population (192,000 adults) experience SMI, yet only 1% (24,000) receive treatment in the state funded community mental health system. Rates of serious mental illnesses are 2-3 times the national average in Miami-Dade County, however per capita state spending for community-based treatment ranks 49th nationally among all states and the District of Columbia.

IMPACT ON MIAMI-DADE COUNTY JAIL Nearly 11,000 jail bookings per year involve people with serious mental illnesses who require treatment while in custody. On any given day, approximately 1,400 of the 4,600 (30%) individuals detained in county jail facilities receive psychiatric medications. The Miami-Dade County jail serves as the largest psychiatric institution in Florida housing more than half as many individuals with mental illnesses as all state psychiatric hospitals combined. Based on an average of 174.4 jail bookings per day between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016, resulting in roughly 64,000 bookings annually; and an estimated prevalence of serious mental illnesses among jail detainees of 16.9% .

CRIMINAL MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT The 11th Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project (CMHP) was established in 2000 to divert individuals with serious mental illnesses, away from the criminal justice system and into comprehensive community-based treatment and support services. The program operates two components: pre-booking diversion consisting of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for law enforcement officers and post-booking diversion serving individuals booked into the jail and awaiting adjudication. To date, more than 6400 law enforcement officers from all 36 law enforcement agencies in the Miami-Dade County have received 40-hour CIT training. Among individuals diverted from the jail post-booking, recidivism rates have been reduced by approximately 75% and it is estimated the county has saves more than 25,000 jail bed days, more than 68 years. As a result of local diversion programs, the average daily census in the county jail system has dropped from 7,200 to less than 4,000 inmates, and the county has closed one entire jail facility at a cost-savings to taxpayers of $12 million per year.
