Creating a Local Systems Map
• Brings together key stakeholders to tap into local expertise
• Creates a local map using the Sequential Intercept Model– Visually depicts local system– Identifies:
o Existing local services and processes– Gaps in services – Strengths to build upon --- opportunities and resources – Data
o Issues considered important to local stakeholders
• Helps everyone see the “big picture” and how they fit– Helps diverse groups from various systems understand where/how everything fits– Intercepts provide manageable venues and opportunities for systems

Problems
• Transport Issues
• Multiple Jurisdictions
• No Public Defenders
• Lack of mobile response
• Most services off the reservation
• Poor data systems
• No detox on reservation– At least an hour away – Not all individuals eligible for county payments
• No 72 hour hold facility on reservation– Could be 8 hours before placed– Could go to detention
• Inconsistent MH screening in jails
• Inconsistent screening for NA in non tribal jails
Problems
• 911 services are not coordinated to meet the needs in ‘reservation’ proper.
• There are more than two contact phone numbers to know to access assistance – one for law enforcement, one for ambulance and one for seeking assistance in a crisis.
• Availability of resources to address or answer the call for help.
Issues in Indian Country
• Cross deputization
• CIT Training – Mental Health Unit (Ute and
Shoshone)
• Shared Court Jurisdictions
• Shared Probation Supervision
