Grant Overview
Montana's 56 counties include 17 designated as frontier, each averaging fewer than six residents per square mile. Crisis intervention research targeting law enforcement responses must therefore account for response times that routinely exceed 90 minutes and the absence of mobile crisis teams in 42 counties. Outcome measures centered on incident reduction require adjustment for these geographic realities.
Target Outcomes with Montana Context Primary outcomes focus on reductions in involuntary holds and transport distances for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises. Secondary outcomes track changes in officer-reported use of de-escalation techniques during encounters logged through the Montana Law Enforcement Teletype System. Data collection protocols must incorporate satellite phone verification because cellular coverage remains incomplete across the eastern plains.
Why These Outcomes Matter in Montana Montana records the highest per-capita suicide rate among states with populations under one million, concentrated in agricultural and extraction-industry counties. Law enforcement officers in these counties serve as default first responders without consistent access to psychiatric consultation. Research that isolates training effects from concurrent changes in telehealth availability will not isolate the intervention impact accurately.
Implementation Approach Training curricula must integrate Montana-specific statutes governing emergency detention authority under Title 53, which differ from statutes in Idaho and Wyoming. Proposals should budget for in-person instruction in regional training hubs rather than centralized delivery in Helena, because travel costs for officers from Garfield or Prairie County exceed $400 per round trip. Evaluation designs limited to pre-post knowledge tests will not satisfy review criteria; reviewers require follow-up analysis of actual call dispositions at six and twelve months post-training.
Montana's reservation lands introduce additional jurisdictional layers that neighboring states do not replicate at the same scale. Research teams must secure tribal council resolutions before accessing data from the seven reservations, and proposals omitting these steps will be considered incomplete. Unlike South Dakota applications, Montana requires explicit documentation of coordination with the state's Highway Patrol crisis intervention coordinator to avoid duplicating existing federal grant activities.
