(2) Assessing the quality of mental health supervision and adherence to evidence based standards to determine how mental health supervision could be improved and identifying services, supports, and training that could equip law enforcement officers to more successfully engage with and reduce recidivism for individuals on community supervision;
(3) Assessing the availability of mental health treatment providers by supervision region to estimate accessability 1 to treatment across the state; and
(4) Tracking qualitative and quantitative metrics on the outcomes of any changes made to community supervision strategies for individuals with mental illness to determine the effectiveness of such strategies.
