The Taking the Call Virtual Conference brought people together from across the U.S. to delve into how jurisdictions are serving as laboratories for innovation to ensure that emergency calls receive the appropriate response. The virtual conference explored how communities are working to build more comprehensive crisis systems including the opportunities and challenges of emerging community responder models and whether or how the approach may improve community health, lessen the burden on law enforcement, and reduce unnecessary justice system contact.
The conference was presented by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance and Office of Justice Programs, The Council of State Governments Justice Center, and the University of Cincinnati. The national conference was free and open to the public; pre-registration was required. Additional information can be found at https://takingthecall.csgjusticecenter.org/
