Last month, we held a convening on non-police alternative first response with @CICSGeorgetown for an opportunity to meet, learn, share ideas, and discuss the future of this growing field. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=V7fd-G…

“A system of alternative first response represents a framework in which cities begin to respond to people with the care they need–not just the gun, badge, and handcuffs we have available,” said @TahirDuckett, Executive Director of @CICSGeorgetown. time.com/6293747/altern…

"The shift towards non-police responses to mental health and other calls for service is a consequential one." 📝 @TahirDuckett ti.me/44FdJ3V

@LawrenceGostin @Georgetown_Uni @oneillinstitute A great addition to Georgetown!

I am delighted Tony Fauci is joining the @Georgetown_Uni faculty. Tony has been a dear friend since we worked together on the AIDS epidemic. He is nothing short of a national treasure. Tony has been a huge supporter of the @oneillinstitute & it will be a joy to partner with him.

Eric Cumberbatch challenging us to see expertise in lived experience and look for more solutions on the ground, rather than in academia.

We need people who don't see respondents as risks to be managed, but rather people in need of care. - Amy Watson

We're live here at @GeorgetownLaw with 175 alternative first response practitioners, advocates, researchers, and funders for two days of deep problem solving on next steps for the movement

“People are serious about redefining the role of police and what problems are better suited for other people to solve. We can’t wait for research - but we have to measure while we innovate - especially to look for unintended consequences.” @NIJDirLaVigne w/ @barryfriedman1

@NIJDirLaVigne: “The true experts are the people who are living and experiencing the issues”

Faculty Director @barryfriedman1 kicks off a conversation with @TahirDuckett and NIJ Director @NIJDirLaVigne on measuring and evaluating the impact of alternative first response programs.

"We are here today because we believe in the power of change. We want to build a community where alternative response is no longer alternative, but the norm." -Darius Baxter of @GOODProjectsDC
