What started as a single social work intern at the Fayetteville Police Department has evolved into a successful Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT). This program pairs police officers with social workers to effectively address mental health crises. As a result, it reduces officer workloads, minimizes repeat encounters, and improves outcomes for individuals in need.
Officers attribute the program's success to strong leadership and a progressive departmental culture. They have noted that it has enhanced retention rates and lowered staff frustration. Fayetteville is now expanding to four teams and inspiring police departments across the state to adopt similar models. The University of Arkansas provides specialized training for social workers in law enforcement settings.
Overall, this innovative program is redefining community care through collaboration and compassion.

Our National President, Patrick Yoes, speaks the truth: 'If the Windfall Elimination scheme was being run by a pension board or private money management group instead of the Social Security Administration, they would not call it an elimination of a windfall or an offset—it would be considered embezzlement. One entity enriching itself by denying a benefit earned by a group of individuals is criminal and that is exactly what is happening here.'
Law enforcement officers deserve the benefits they’ve earned through years of service and sacrifice. The FOP is committed to fighting for fairness and justice for our members.
