The SMART Community Policing Act seeks to improve community policing by integrating mental health services and support. It authorizes the use of COPS funds to establish mobile crisis teams, co-responder programs, and case management teams. These teams will respond to mental health crises, de-escalate situations, and connect individuals with appropriate services. The act aims to reduce repeat interactions between law enforcement and individuals in crisis, and to improve outcomes for communities and law enforcement officers.
