Public Safety Commission - Questions & Answers PENDING QUESTIONS: February 5, 2024 Item 4. Policing and Disabilities – Austin Police Department - Data Would like additional information from the planning and research department on data that is available around interactions with our disabled community and the police. APD is actively researching this topic and engaging with various subject matter experts. March 4, 2024 Item 2 - EMS Quarterly Update 1. Why were there not any provided in the eastern crescent in the last quarter? FY2024 Q1 had several items that limited our ability to conduct PURCs in the eastern crescent. o October—we conduct a pink PURC that necessitates an indoor location and privacy for specific examinations. These locations are typically done in central Austin. o We had a PURC scheduled at the Marshalling Yard which is in the 78741 zip code. That had to be rescheduled and was completed in January 2024. o Weather during this time of the year can be difficult which requires an indoor location to conduct a PURC. We have significant constraints for indoor options on the east side as many locations are joined with schools, kids activities or senior programing. 2. What plans are there for PURCs in the eastern crescent for this quarter and in the coming year and what outreach strategies are being used to determine need? For FY2024 Q2, we had 3 PURCs in the eastern crescent (78702, 78744, 78741). We are currently discussion a plan with PARD to formularize a plan to utilize locations that fall within the eastern crescent. This planning will determine location availability over the next 12 months so we can forecast future events. Here are some of our strategies to determine locations: o Appropriate facility given the time of year (cover, indoors, bathrooms, privacy, etc.) o Limit duplication of resources. We stay away from areas where other organizations are already providing services. o Determine locations that have both populations that are in need as well as limited or no services. o Locations need to be near or along a bus line. o Locations should be visible from the street and accessible. Public Safety Commission - Questions & Answers Our process for determining locations has been fluid. Initiatives like camping bans and area clean outs result in movement of vulnerable populations. We trend these movements and try to adjust our approach to ensure we are serving our intended population. Item 3 - Opioid Use Hot Spots, Prevention, Education Efforts 1.
