Johnson Conty, Kansas As of Jly 1, 2015, the censs estimates the poplation in Johnson Conty (Jo. Co.) to be 580,159. Overland Park, Kansas Overland Park is located in Jo. Co. and is the second most poplos city in the state of Kansas, with an estimated poplation of 186,515 residents (2016 estimate). Overland Park Neighborhood Improvement Project (OPNIP) Initiated in Janary 2012 Collaboration between the city of Overland Park and the Overland Park Police Department (OPPD) Commnity based effort to improve citizen-police relations, address city code violations and assist citizens in accessing the services they need to be sccessfl. Goal: to improve a declining neighborhood with high incidents of crime Chief John Doglass presented the project at Jo. Co. Criminal Jstice Advisory Concil and shared his passion for trning arond neighborhoods that were in a declining pattern.
Area 1 & Area 2 Crime vs All City Crime Area 1 Area 2 Crime By Area Area 4, 12406, 24% Area 3, 8484, 17% Area 1, 14277, 28% Area 2, 16001, 31% Overland Park is broken down into 4 areas. Area 1 & 2 make p almost 60% of all crime. Area 1 & 2 have over 50% of crime on all bt three crime types. The highest crime type is Ato Theft at 74%. Area 3 Area 4
Cort Services/Corrections and Parole Clients Living In The Original Target Area Ø The partnership concentrated to a targeted neighborhood in Area 1. Ø In March 2012, there were approximately 265 probation and parole clients living in this area.
The original target area lacked sfficient neighborhood associations in all sections. The city created several for their stabilization project as a way to target preservation and take back the neighborhood from gang activity and apathy. Since the project, OPPD s relationship with the neighborhood has greatly improved. OPNIP was in fll swing with probation and parole clients arond Agst 2013. In Janary 2016, the program area expanded to any area in Overland Park that is North of Interstate 435, also known as Area 1 and 2 (the white area above the interstate)
MISSION: Jstice and Commnity Partners Collaborating to Strengthen Neighborhoods Throgh Parole/Probation Client Sccess PURPOSE: To enhance relationships and establish a partnership with the Police Department and Probation and Parole Officers for the prpose of: Redcing Crime Improve the qality of the neighborhoods Improve the sccess rate of identified individals on probation and parole Identify and share the available resorces
Overland Park Police Department Commnity Policing and Problem Solving Officers (COPPS) The COPPS officers work with the commnity to bild relationships and solve problems. They work with: Other police officers to identify long-term soltions to problems that troble neighborhoods and Neighborhood leaders, apartment managers, social services agencies, and other city departments. COPPS officers dties: Researching the previos night s calls for service and reports taken by other police officers. Meeting with an apartment complex manager abot an ongoing noise complaint isse with a tenant. Preparing for an pcoming safety presentation for a neighborhood association meeting.
Assessment & Spervision of Probation/Parole Clients Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) Used to determine criminogenic risk and need which inform the level of spervision and intensity of intervention/services. Completed prior to sentencing and/or pon placement on probation. Reassessed 6 months after the initial and yearly thereafter or with major changes that may affect the individal s score. Individals are spervised as Low, Moderate, Medim High and High Risk. The higher the score, the higher the risk for ftre criminal behavior. These individals warrant the majority of attention for both rehabilitative service and spervision. Minimal interventions are tilized with lower risk individals, as stdies have shown that over-spervising can increase their risk of reoffending. When dynamic (ie. changeable) risk and need factors are addressed, there is a sbseqent decrease in the LSI-R score and the likelihood of frther criminal behavior, in addition adding to the stability of the neighborhood.
Program Criteria Adlt Intensive Spervision/Commnity Corrections (Felony Convictions) Individals who are living in the area and considered medim high or high risk are atomatically added to the OPNIP. This entails individals to have a minimm of one joint home visit (PO and LEO). Override criteria applies at the officers discretion for DUI and sex crime convictions. Adlt Standard Probation/Cort Services (Felony and Misdemeanor Convictions) Eligibility is determined by intake officers based on the individal s address and risk level. 2 levels of spervision: 1. ISP (only misd 24+): Assigned to the OPNIP officer. 2. The standard (LSIR of 23 and below): Assigned only if there is additional concern from intake staff or a sitation arises where they cold benefit from the program. This entails individals to have a minimm of one joint home visit (PO and LEO). Jvenile Commnity Corrections Yoth probation/parole clients are enrolled if the PO reqests extra attention. A higher percentage of the yoth receiving OPNIP services are enrolled at Shawnee Mission West High School (SMW) than any other high school in Overland Park (4 high schools total). SMW was listed by the Prevention Center as a high risk school for sbstance abse.
Collaboration PO s and LEO s meet monthly to review the program s roster. Participants exchange information regarding: -Whether the individal is reporting -Treatment progress -Employment Stats -Drg/Alcohol se -Isses in the residence/possible isses -Police contact with individal Home visits Initial visit Sbseqent home visits are completed at the officer s discretion and/or pon need. The prpose of these visits are to help bild sccess, not srveillance. Providing a team approach to spervising gives the individal a point of contact with the PD shold they need assistance withot having to call 9-1-1. The direct point of contact helps the PD strengthen relationships in the commnity.
Benefits of the OPNIP Probation Having the extra added secrity and safety of going ot in the field with an armed LEO vs. an narmed PO. PO s reglarly address drg and alcohol se, hanging ot with bad associates, criminal thinking, and family dysfnction. Allows for a collaborative intervention approach to address negative behaviors. Receiving information from LEO s who patrol the neighborhood can be insightfl to POs who do not typically observe these individals in their daily lives. Law Enforcement Intelligence is a means to deter crime. With the right intentions, LEOs can be better informed regarding nreported and ndetected criminal activity in the area and who key players are. POs and LEOs are working for the same reslt the sccessfl retention of the individal as a law abiding, prodctive citizen in the commnity.
Strengthening Families Program (SFP) Collaboration between the First Baptist Chrch of Overland Park, C.O.P.P.S Officers, and Stdent Resorce Officers 14-session, weekly, evidence-based, 3 skills collaborative corse taght to parents, children, and the entire family nit.

Sccess Stories Residence Y in Area 2, had the highest nmber of calls for service. Two jveniles who lived at residence Y were on probation and were referred to the SFP by Officer Stephens. Since going thr the 14 week program, there have not been any frther calls for action with this family or at the residence. Officer Stephens completed an nschedled visit to a residence where two Jvenile Commnity Corrections clients (2 brothers on probation) resided. Officer Stephens discovered that both boys had spent the night at another probationer s residence. Not only was probation officer able to address the violations with this information, bt other isses were also ncovered inclding the name of a drg dealer associated with the probationer where the boys spent the night. A PO and LEO completed an nschedled home visit to the residence of an Adlt Commnity Corrections client Jim. Upon arriving, the officers witnessed Jim in his vehicle with 2 yong children getting ready to leave the parking lot. A rotine breathalyzer (BA) was completed which yielded positive reslts for alcohol. They addressed Jim s drinking problem and connected him with mchneeded treatment. He completed probation sccessflly.

Stakeholder Engagement BHU is actively engaging, maintaining and expanding or relationships with the commnity for the most effective and efficient law enforcement and behavioral health collaboration possible. We actively are involved on individal cases and system management with: Hospitals Shelters District Attorney Office Jail Probation Pretrial NAMI Schools Mental Health Agencies Sbstance Use Agencies
Diversion treatment OVER pnishment We engage with probation, and other partners, to improve processes for diversion from jail and seek opportnities to spport those in mental health or sbstance se related crisis. Clinician Probation Clinician and probation officers are paired together to spport and foster sccessfl commnity integration for individals with varying behavioral health needs.
Barriers The individal wants treatment, bt there are no appropriate spport options and limited treatment options, either de to lack of openings or fnding. The individal is resistant to spports, treatment, or alternative diversion from incarceration, despite efforts by law enforcement and behavioral health partnerships.
Barriers Strict involntary commitment laws Limit opportnities to address the safety of individals in crisis, those arond them, responding officers, and the commnity at large. Lack of integrated trama, mental health, and sbstance se long term treatment A statewide meeting is being held in March to address these isse. Next step: Proposing legislative action
Case Example 1 Denny is a 35 year old male with a sbstance se addiction to opiates, co-occrring with depression and anxiety. He was jailed as a reslt of a probation violation. Or sbstance se disorder liaison and the probation officer met with the client to assess his willingness to engage in treatment and be motivated to create change. The probation officer, or sbstance se disorder liaison, his appointed lawyer and the district attorney collaborated to have him held in jail ntil there is a bed available in a residential treatment program. Denny will then be released to the probation officer and or sbstance se disorder liaison and transported directly to treatment.
Case Example 2 Asad is an 11 year old Somalian boy who has been engaging in dangeros and criminal behavior (e.g. aggression, threatening, damaging property, stealing). Being hesitant to charge this jvenile, we have attempted mltiple interventions with him and his mother, both at home and throgh the school. Asad is extremely resistant and mother is afraid of him; and they never followthrogh on recommendations. His behavior has only escalated. A police officer, DDHS, jvenile probation, or behavioral health team, commnity policing coordinator and the district attorney met to create a crisis plan. We are sing a lingering chargeable offense as leverage in effort to encorage the mother and Asad to comply with interventions and avoid any legal ramifications. Collaboration of all parties and contined follow throgh and commnication, increases the likelihood that we are able to help Asad rather than have him fall throgh the cracks of the system.
Case Example 3 Randy is a 26 year old male with bipolar disorder, experiencing manic symptoms with psychotic featres, inclding aggressive and threatening behaviors. Randy is crrently jailed for a violation of an order of protection (for harassment) and stealing a car. The district attorney, lawyer, therapist, psychiatrist, and probation officer worked together to create a deferred disposition. Randy was released and mandated to treatment. For 9 months, Randy was engaging in treatment, as well as working and living independently. Then, he went off his medication and stopped going to treatment appointments. The violation of the deferred disposition and probation violation wold allow a warrant for his arrest and then diversion to the hospital instead of incarceration. There was insfficient reason for the hospital to involntarily commit Randy and he was released in the middle of the night. For two weeks he threatened to kill his family and all involved in his case, by phone, email and texting. He again violated probation and his deferred disposition, bt he had isolated himself and we did not know his location. We secred a warrant for his arrest and he was eventally fond and jailed becase the diversion for psychiatric intervention had been nsccessfl. All involved had extreme concern for Randy, his family, the commnity and officer safety. The probation officer and myself went to the jail a few times a week and he eventally agreed to attend a residential treatment program of his choice (which happened to be ot of state). All charges were dropped. 18 months later he is sober, healthy, working, living independently and engaged in treatment. While this process was potentially dangeros, we learned a lot. This lawyer, probation officer, district attorney and myself contine to meet reglarly to design interventions to yield efficient, effective, and sccessfl otcomes for similar high-risk sitations.
Looking Forward We are always seeking opportnities to learn more effective and efficient ways to collaborate responses to individals with behavioral health needs within or commnity and state. We appreciate collaborating with, and learning from others so please do not hesitate to reach ot: Jo Freedman, Behavioral Health Coordinator jfreedman@portlandmaine.gov
