Programs offering help for communities and victims
Community action teams: Liaisons between the community and the police department, with the goal of helping communities and victims deal with the effects of crime.
Crisis intervention teams: Police officers who have been trained to recognize mental illness and prevent situations involving the mentally ill from escalating.
Pathways: Program that provides housing, mental-health care and social support to chronically homeless individuals who have been unable to qualify for or succeed in traditional housing programs.
Passages: Rehabilitates misdemeanor offenders whose crimes have a negative impact on the community at large. It requires interaction with a community panel and provides restitution to victims.
Homeless Court: A justice-court program that allows homeless individuals to sign up at the shelter and work through minor charges such as trespassing or public intoxication that the homeless often face.
Other justice-court programs: Specially trained judges focus on certain types of crime, especially those with high recidivism rates. They include Domestic Violence Court, Drunk Driving Court and Misdemeanor Drug Court.
Sex-crimes programs: The Johns' Offender Program helps change the behavior of men who solicit prostitutes. The Prostitution Outreach Program helps women out of the commercial sex trade. The Public Sex Crimes Program works with men charged with having sex in public places. They are typically self-identified heterosexuals with families who engage in same-sex activity in public "cruising" spots.
