It was great to have Rachel Looker from @NACoTweets visit the Adult Detention Center to hear about our behavioral health programs in partnership with @FairfaxCSB. Together were improving outcomes for people with mental illness and/or substance use disorders. #DiversionFirst


The cruelty of this moment is especially wrenching as we approach the fifth anniversary of Natasha’s death. Kincaid has stated on more than one occasion that had the #DiversionFirst program existed at the time of her death, Natasha wouldn’t have been a candidate for diversion.

#FairfaxCounty is renaming the Merrifield mental health center after a retired white Board Supervisor who did NOTHING to hold the officers who killed #NatashaMcKenna accountable.

Best wishes to #DiversionFirst Stakeholder Group Chairman Gary Ambrose on his retirement. Working together, we have changed the way our behavioral health and criminal justice systems interact - treatment instead of incarceration.

Sheriff Stacey Kincaid of @FairfaxCounty is teaching @LWVFairfax about #DiversionFirst, a key part of #CriminalJustice reform. This program focuses on improving behavioral health outcomes of those involved in the system.

Butorac: “Studies have shown even three days of incarceration can dramatically impact a person’s life: they can lose their job, their housing, etc.” This is why we need to stop caging people entirely. #DiversionFarce #DiversionFirst

Butorac, on #DiversionFirst: we are able to work toward diversion at several points. “We can’t incarcerate mentally ill people, they belong in the community.” Too bad cops are the first decision-makers right now and the process is highly subjective. #DiversionFarce
Williamson County Mobile Crisis Outreach Team has partnered with @BTCS_Health since earlier this year and partners will expand crisis call #mentalhealth support to 24-7 coverage #diversionfirst https://t.co/Ep2unvPhP4
A huge thanks to @SheriffKincaid and @FairfaxCSB for a great tour of the Merrifield Crisis Center, the Fairfax Jail Mental Health Unit and the #DiversionFirst program in Fairfax, VA. Joining us was Franklin County (Columbus, Ohio) Sheriff Dallas Baldwin. @OHFCSO @TheHarrisCTR

Partners in the Drug Treatment Court include @fairfaxsheriff, @FairfaxCSB, public defenders, prosecutors, probation officers, judges and clerks. #diversionfirst
Why a drug treatment court? Saves lives, saves money and reduces crime. #diversionfirst @fairfaxsheriff @FairfaxCSB
Today we are learning about the launch of the Fairfax County Drug Court for criminal defendants who have alcohol and/or other substance use disorders. #diversionfirst @fairfaxsheriff @FairfaxCSB

Congratulations from @fairfaxsheriff, @FairfaxCountyPD, and @ffxfirerescue to @LauraBYager on her retirement. She has been a strong, creative and engaging leader, who motivates us to match her passion and meet her high expectations, especially with #DiversionFirst.

In some cases, people experiencing #mentalhealth crisis are sent to jail, where they could stay for days w/o treatment or released back into the community w/o a plan. Proud of the work #RIGHTCareDallas & others are doing to prioritize #diversionfirst for Texans w mental illness

"The mission is to keep people from going to jail who are better served in the #mentalhealth community" #diversionfirst #smartjustice @beaumont_police @spindletopctr https://t.co/4aIwK5snIe
McLaughlin says our police are “doing so much good diversion in our community.” Where was that for #AmayaGomez #GiovannyMartinez #ChristopherPaul They’ve said they wouldn’t have diverted #NatashaMcKenna. #DiversionFirst is a #DiversionFarce. #NoCopsInSchools
In review of Austin #mentalhealth calls, #RIGHTCareDallas partnership between @parkland, @DallasFireRes_q and @DallasPD as well as Houston's @HCSO_MHU highlighted as diversion success stories. #diversionfirst @Bjwagtx https://t.co/SB09BLXwE1
