– The Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury recommends DHHS provide additional training to law enforcement and correctional staff to better identify the difference between drug induced and mental health issues. This action should be completed by October 1, 2019. Response – The recommendation requires further analysis. This would require a program to be created by DHHS which the Sheriff's Office has no control over. The Sheriff's office is always open to more opportunities to train on substance abuse disorders and mental illness.

No recommendations for this finding
- The legal 5150 implementation in both the Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) and Sempervirens is at times in dispute amongst Department of Health and Human Services staff and local law enforcement agencies. Response – Agree with this finding. I recognize that both the HCCF and Sempervirens have challenges with persons with mental illness. Since each facility has their own mental health clinicians and supervision, opinions on the degrees of mental illness and the desired treatment options sometimes vary. There are times when a member of the Sheriff's department transports a subject from the correctional facility at the direction of Mental Health staff to Sempervirens on a 5150 and then released within the same day. Sempervirens has limited capacity to house all of the 5150 holds that potentially come in within a 24-hour period.
