    M PROGRA H First Do No Harm: Advancing Public Health in Policing Practices E AND MENTAL HEALT E AND MENTAL US NOVEMBER 2015 TANCE TANCE S SUB David Cloud • Chelsea Davis FROM THE PRESIDENT First Do No Harm addresses the disconnect between law enforcement and public health systems, which has resulted in an ineffective default response of arrest, incarcerate, and repeat for some of our society’s most vulnerable mem- bers—people living in poverty, using drugs, or living with mental illness. The now well-documented and contemporaneous failures of the war on drugs and the movement to deinstitutionalize people with serious mental illness and intellectual disabilities illuminate the need for a cohesive response among system actors to society’s ills. As you read this report, it will be clear to you that the money and resources spent rooting out and arresting people suffering from illness and addiction are far better reserved for finding alterna- tives that connect them to treatment and care. Otherwise, the burden is placed on law enforcement officers to provide a means of relief or otherwise send sick and impoverished people to overcrowded cells and through the wringer of the criminal justice system. Recent national health care reform and bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform present an opportunity to course correct. Our public services must bet- ter align themselves to address the health disparities that arise from poverty and the lack of proper treatment and care. In the case of Gloucester, Massachu- setts—which had seen an uptick in heroin-related deaths—the police chief has offered the city’s precincts as sanctuary to people with drug addictions where they can be directly connected to treatment without fear of arrest or incarcera- tion.
