OBJECTIVE The City of Ann Arbor is seeking the services of an agency (firm, nonprofit organization, private agency, group of cooperating agencies) in connection with implementation of the City’s Unarmed Crisis Response Program (UCRP) per City Council Resolution R-23-235 – Resolution in Support of an RFP Issuance for the Unarmed Response Program. In addition, City Council approved Resolution R-24-019 – Resolution Reaffirming the Commitment to Establish an Unarmed Crisis Response Program. In April 2021, City Council adopted Resolution R-21-129 directing the City Administrator to implement an Unarmed Crisis Response Program in the City of Ann Arbor. Such a program will utilize existing partnerships with social and human services agencies to structure a new crisis response program that would take charge of a portion of non-criminal calls for service that have historically been handled by police officers.

The City Administrator’s Office will oversee the direction and quality of the work of this consultant but will not retain or exercise control over the method of the consultant’s work or the means by which the required results are accomplished.

Background In April 2021, City Council adopted resolution R-21-129 directing the city administrator to implement an Unarmed Crisis Response Program in the City of Ann Arbor. Such a program would utilize existing partnerships with social and human services agencies to structure a new crisis response program that would take charge of a portion of non- criminal calls for service that have historically been handled by police officers. Responsive to Council's request, staff prepared an interim report on unarmed police response, which was provided to Council on December 21, 2021. The memo detailed staff research and understanding of the issues and proposed a path forward for building and implementing an Unarmed Crisis Response Program in the City of Ann Arbor. As directed in Resolution R-21-129, the City of Ann Arbor was tasked with exploring opportunities for an unarmed response to public safety calls in the city. The City of Ann Arbor asked Public Sector Consultants (PSC), a Lansing-based, nonpartisan research and consulting public policy firm, to help gather input from community members about how to develop and implement this program. As a part of this process, PSC conducted a series of community engagement and feedback 2022 activities, including small group discussions, town hall meetings, stakeholder interviews, and a community survey that closed on Nov. 4, 2022 to gather feedback about the goals, design, and implementation of an unarmed response program. Community feedback was used to inform program development. The final report was issued by Public Sector Consultants in March 2023 and can be viewed here: City of Ann Arbor Unarmed Cris Response Team: Community Feedback and Recommendations (PDF) Public Sector Consultants, March 2023 City Council approved Resolution R-23-235 in Support of an RFP Issuance for the City’s Unarmed Crisis Response Program.

Coordinate with existing emergency responders, including but not limited to fire, law enforcement, and CMH, when such coordination is necessary to ensure the safety of the caller, the public, or members of any emergency response team.

When the Unarmed Crisis Response Program responds to a call, a written report must be generated containing the complete facts and circumstances of the call and any follow-up conducted by the Unarmed Crisis Response team. A template for such reports should be developed and the Unarmed Crisis Response team should be trained on the requirements of the report.

A complete response to each of the Unarmed Crisis Response (UCR) Specific and Scenario Based Questions below. UNARMED CRISIS RESPONSE SPECIFIC and SCENARIO-BASED QUESTIONS: 1. A mother calls the Unarmed Crisis Response (UCR) team seeking help with her 15-year-old son. She is upset and crying. Through tears, the mother explains that her son recently went through a bad breakup and has been depressed and angry for several months. The mother indicates that her son is in counseling, and has recently been prescribed Zoloft, which he takes daily. The mother expresses concern that her son has been talking about killing himself, and that his thoughts of suicide have increased since he began taking Zoloft. She doesn’t want the police involved because her son had a negative police encounter a few years back and still doesn’t trust law enforcement. The mother has already called the after-hours line for her son’s pediatrician three times, but she has not received a return phone call. She is beginning to panic. Her son has locked himself in his room and refuses to open the door. She can hear that he is moving around, but he isn’t speaking to her. a. Do you feel that UCR is the most appropriate first responder to handle this call? b. Are there community partners you would collaborate with in an effort to best serve this caller and her son? c. Do you feel you have any specific legal or ethical obligations due to the nature of this call? d. How would you approach this situation and what steps would you take to help this mother and son? 2. A caller contacts the Unarmed Crisis Response (UCR) team. His words are slurred nearly beyond recognition, but your dispatcher hears, “no police” clearly and the word “unarmed”. It is unclear that there is a crisis, but if there is, you have no way of knowing from the caller’s communications what the nature of that crisis may be. Your dispatcher was unable to obtain an address from the caller before the line went dead. a. Do you feel that UCR is the most appropriate first responder to handle this call? b. Are there community partners you would collaborate with in an effort to best serve this caller? c. Do you feel you have any specific legal or ethical obligations due to the nature of this call? 16 d. How would you approach this situation and what steps would you take to help this caller? 3. A caller contacts the Unarmed Crisis Response (UCR) team seeking help for a neighborhood property line dispute. The caller indicates that he shares a fence with the neighbor immediately west of his property. They have frequently argued over the placement of the fence, as the caller believes it was intentionally built two feet beyond the legal property line to usurp a portion of his property. He believes this was done in response to his purchase of two Great Danes, a breed of dog his neighbor openly fears due to their imposing size. Neither party can afford to hire a surveyor to settle the dispute. a. Do you feel that UCR is the most appropriate first responder to handle this call? b. Are there community partners you would reach out to in an effort to best serve this caller? c. Do you feel you have any specific legal or ethical obligations due to the nature of this call? d. How would you approach this situation and what steps would you take to help this caller? 4. You arrive at the scene of a welfare check initiated by a concerned citizen who has not seen or heard from her elderly neighbor in several days. The caller indicates this is very unusual, as her neighbor always starts the day with a cup of coffee on his deck, and she waves to him every day as she starts and ends her morning run. When you arrive at the scene, you see nothing out of the ordinary that would indicate a crime has occurred. You knock repeatedly, but one answers the door. a. Do you feel that UCR is the most appropriate first responder to handle this call? b. Are there community partners you would collaborate with in an effort to best serve this caller? c. Do you feel you have any specific legal or ethical obligations due to the nature of this call? d.
