We are excited to share that the U.S. Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services has identified the Police Assisted Referral (PAR) initiative as a Successful Practice and Strategy.  CMHA Police Department is one of three departments in Ohio to receive this designation.  

Chief Andrés González, one of the Partnership's Trustees, should be commended for his leadership, vision, and dedication to this project.


Congratulations to the rest of the wonderful PAR partners: CMHA Police Department, Case Western Reserve University, BeechBrook and Frontline Service. We at the Partnership are honored to have played a role in institutionalizing this initiative within CMHA, and know that PAR will continue changing the lives of residents, thanks to the tireless work of this team.

Judge White will be in charge of coordinating the city's work to implement the settlement over police use of force. Judge White will be a liaison with a police department unit's tasked with implementing the settlement and the monitor.
 
Judge White served on the Partnership's Board of Trustees since 2012, and his resignation from our Board was effective as of March 31st. We want to thank Greg for his support and commitment to the Partnership, its mission, Board and staff. We are excited about his new opportunity to assist our city in its efforts to exceed the goals and objectives of the consent decree.  Best of luck, Judge!!
