34 The grant agreement has been reviewed and approved by the city attorney. 35 36 37 Policy Objectives 38 The Roseville Police Department seeks to continue behavioral health support services available to 39 individuals and their families experiencing a mental health crisis. The embedded social workers help 40 ensure individuals and families have support and case management in place. Continuing embedded 41 mental health services advances Roseville’s community aspirations of being physically and mentally well 42 and being a city where all people feel safe and secure and where mutual trust and respect are fostered 43 between the community and their police, fire, and all emergency responders. 44 45 Equity Impact Summary 46 Accessing mental health and crisis services can be challenging for anyone, but these challenges are 47 particularly pronounced for individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and lower socio-economic 48 populations. A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report estimates that more 49 than 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness. While mental health issues are treatable and 50 preventable, significant barriers—including financial limitations and disparities in care— 51 disproportionately affect populations of color, American Indians, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, 52 refugees, active military members, veterans, and other underserved groups. 53 By continuing to embed mental health social workers within the Roseville Police Department, RPD 54 strives to provide equitable, culturally responsive crisis intervention services. This approach not only 55 addresses immediate mental health needs but also helps ensure individuals from marginalized 56 communities receive appropriate care and connection to long-term resources. These efforts are integral 57 to reducing disparities and fostering a more inclusive and supportive community. 58 59 60 Budget Implications 61 Accepting this grant funding will offset the costs of one of the two embedded social worker positions 62 approved in the Roseville Police Department’s 2025 budget. Additionally, the grant will cover six months 63 of funding towards one position in 2026. Securing this funding proactively enables RPD to sustain a high 64 standard of public safety while reducing the financial impact on the city’s budget and taxpayers. This 65 reflects the department’s commitment to providing essential services in a fiscally responsible manner. 66 67 The funding for the second social worker will be through a combination of existing public safety aid, 68 ARPA and Opioid dollars. 69 70 Staff Recommendations 71 RPD recommends the Council approve the acceptance of the Crisis Response Grant funds in the 72 amount of $200,000 and authorize the reclassification of the mental health coordinator position to a 73 Grade 18. 74 75 76 Requested Council Action 77 Approve the acceptance of the Crisis Response Grant funds in the amount of $200,000 and authorize 78 the reclassification of the mental health coordinator to a Grade 16. 79 80 81 Page 2 of 3 Qbhf!226!pg!264
