We run a dual response model that pairs a MH clinician with a deputy who’s had additional training and volunteered to work on the crisis team. It’s gotten good results, downside is the team is only on 12 hours a day, but we can call out an on call clinician after hours.

Merits of this policy aside, the HRA Is a fascinating tool. We teach employees to think about it as solely as a post-retirement health insurance premium instrument and to invest that way. Perhaps because most law enforcement folks retire well before Medicare eligibility, mileage may vary elsewhere.

I’m not intrigued so much as concerned lol. Guess Adama was right to not allow networked computers on his ship!

Truly the saddest thing about Oregon’s entirely vote by mail system is that they don’t give us stickers.

I am 42 and made a joke to a junior colleague about the 2000 election (we work in politics, so I figured it’d resonate) and after getting a blank look, I realized he was 7 years old in 2000. I then turned to dust. 🫠

Sorry if it’s in the article (darn paywall) - but did you look at how some widespread protocols like ProQA, don’t allow for much, if any, local modification, while others, like APCO, give individual dispatch centers more flexibility in how they write questions? I think that’s a potential barrier.

Ok, but for real, a strong core is important for surviving long hours sitting at a desk without back pain. :)

So yeah. It’s the wages, not the people, that are the problem.

A similar case went to court a decade ago in Virginia, and the holding was something like that it was permitted because a deputy is an inherently political position that the Sheriff can fire at will. Blew my mind.

William Gibson called it “soul dislocation” in a novel once and I think that’s so apt.

New Yorkers crack me up. So unbelievably confident that NYC is the center of the world, the only city that matters, but these masters of the universe are going to give that all up and move to the suburbs because of politics and keep a place in the city to see shows like a tourist. Ok. 🙄
