SCPD and the Shelby County Health Department began a collaboration to co-screen clients for behavioral health needs at the earliest stage of a case, so treatment and diversion options can be identified before charges harden. The effort builds on the Jericho Project model.

Early screening helps connect people to care and reduces unnecessary time in custody.
