Criminal
Justice Symposium:
Law Enforcement Training and Intervention
SCHEDULE
& WORKSHOPS
|
Lieutenant
Jeffry Murphy
of the Chicago Police Department
will be keynote presenter at this
years Criminal Justice Symposium
|
| |
This
year NAMI Pennsylvania is again proud to include a Criminal Justice
System Symposium as part of our annual conference. The purpose
of the symposium is to attract criminal justice system professionals
from all disciplines in order to put the focus on people with
mental illness who become involved with the criminal justice system.
This year’s theme addresses front-end diversion and training,
beginning with the law enforcement officer who has first contact
with a mental health consumer; post-booking diversion such as
specialized courts; and finally, post-intervention for police,
corrections and probation and parole officers in the aftermath
of a critical incident while in the line of duty.
The symposium's Opening Plenary Speaker will be Lieutenant Jeffry
Murphy of the Chicago Police Department. Lt. Murphy is the Mental
Health and Disabilities Liaison and Crisis Intervention Team Coordinator
for the Chicago Police Department. In addition to being a member
of NAMI Chicago, he and his wife are also Family to Family Education
Course instructors, and have a family member affected by bipolar
disorder.
Speakers from law enforcement agencies, the judicial system, local
and state corrections, and probation and parole will relate how
their agencies are impacted by mental illness, and how training
in this area, and intervention after a critical incident, provide
them with the tools to more effectively do their jobs and stay
safe and well in the process. We
would like to thank the following co-sponsors for making this
symposium possible:
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole |
