Title:

911 Behavioral Health Diversion [Baltimore, Maryland]

Description:

On June 16, 2021, the City of Baltimore launched a 911 Diversion Pilot in collaboration with a community-based service provider, Baltimore Crisis Response, Inc. (BCRI), to divert two behavioral health call types to start: PSYCH ALERT (non-suicidal and alert) and SUIC ALERT (suicidal and alert).The central mission of the 911 Behavioral Health Diversion project is to match individuals to the most appropriate and available resource. Individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis will be connected to a crisis hotline staffed 24/7 by trained mental health professionals. Co-response occurs when patients are connected to the crisis line and there is some degree of response by BPD or BCFD resources. Although the 911 Diversion Pilot is an immediate step, the City intends to expand 911 diversion beyond behavioral health responses - such as considering improved use of peer supports, housing opportunities, and community-based youth diversion.Data Dictionary field_name description data_type range_of_possible_values example_values callDateTime Date and time of 911 call Date 9/26/2021 17:14 responseType Diversion: Incident involved BCRI AND BPD nor BCFD were involved (BCFD disposition of "cancelled" still counts as diversion) Co-notification: incident involved BCRI AND BPD and/or BCFD also involved (at least two agencies involved, may be all three) AND call was not returned to dispatch from BCRI (i.e. an escalated diversion) Escalated Diversion: Incident involved BCRI AND Call was transferred back to 911, BCFD or BPD response was requested Unable to Divert: (there was intent to involve BCRI but something prevented a clean diversion or co-notification.)
