APD Mental Health First Response Incidents

DATASET DESCRIPTION:
This dataset is a filtered view of the APD Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Incident dataset and contains information only on incidents that were related to mental health.

A CAD incident may be related to mental health for the following reasons:
1.) The initial or final incident description indicated a mental health component.
2.) The call disposition description indicated that the call response involved a mental health component.
3.) A crisis counselor was assigned to the call.
4.) An individual called 911 and asked for mental health services or the 911 call taker assessed that there was a mental health component to the call.
5.) The subject of a use of force related to the CAD incident was assessed to have displayed Emotionally Disturbed Person (EDP) conduct.

This data excludes records that were cancelled after being identified as duplicates of the same incident, such as when two 911 calls are made for the same incident. It also excludes records that were cancelled because they were handled by another agency such as Austin Fire or Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services or because they were found to not require a police response.

GENERAL ORDERS RELATED TO THIS DATA:
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Unit and (CIT) officers address and respond to any calls for police assistance related to the mental health community, including Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and cognitive disorders. This order sets guidelines for utilizing the CIT Unit and the certified CIT officers assigned to field duty.
