Abstract
ABSTRACT People with mental health concerns are over-represented in police-involved deaths in Canada. Calls for alternative responses to people in crisis have generated interest in programs that partner police with mental health professionals. This review summarizes what is known about the effectiveness of co-response programs in meeting client and community needs. Methods followed PRISMA-ScR standards. Eight studies evaluating Canadian co-response programs were included. Co-response programs can reduce involuntary hospital transport, improve referrals, and decrease emergency department wait times. Research is needed to determine whether they reduce the use of force and meet client’s needs in the community.
