About this Event
We will have a networking event at 5:30, which you are also welcome to attend.
In 2017, Steve Leifman, an associate administrative judge for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, was one of the authors of an article in the Atlantic magazine: How Mental-Health Training for Police Can Save Lives and Taxpayer Dollars, with the subheading, “But only if officials at all levels of government are willing to invest in it up front.” Judge Leifman has lobbied for a police training program in Miami-Dade, which has been in place for several decades, with dramatic results.

These reflections include the Atlantic article links and a summary of the Miami-Dade CIT Training for police on mental illness, and how the county is a leader in this endeavor.
