Homeless Outreach Proactive Engagement (H.O.P.E.) Team

Chris has served as Sparks Police Chief since 2004.  Chief Crawforth will share with us how he works to meet the needs of the Sparks community through residential outreach, filling police officer vacancies, and helping the homeless through the department's Homeless Outreach Proactive Engagement (H.O.P.E.) Team.  We will learn how The HOPE Team assists those experiencing homelessness through a boots-on-the-ground approach, where needs are assessed and then aligned with field-based services and local Medicaid resource partnerships.
