Description

Minnesota can reduce incarceration and improve police performance by taking mental health seriously. Sound far-fetched? It’s happening in Miami-Dade County where Judge Steve Leifman has transformed the way the criminal justice system and police respond to people with serious mental illness. A remarkable conversation will identify how Minnesota can join the revolution in public safety-- saving lives and money. The panel is made up of: Sen. Rich Draheim (R), Minnesota Senate Daniel H. Gillison Jr., National CEO, NAMI Mindy Greiling, Author, “Fix What You Can: A Lawmaker’s Fight for Her Son” Sen. Ron Latz (DFL), Minnesota Senate Judge Steve Leifman, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida Chief Kelly McCarthy, Mendota Heights Police Department & Chair, Minnesota POST Board Norm Ornstein, Emeritus Scholar, American Enterprise Institute Moderated by: Larry Jacobs
