The Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) was awarded a $349,108 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710). The funding will be used to provide Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Tactical Social Interactions (TSI) training to 24 SCSO field training officers and 18 first-line supervisors. The MI training will be delivered across four two-day sessions, while the TSI training will consist of two one-week sessions. This training is intended to enhance police-community relations and safety through evidence-based strategies. The project will also include a program evaluation conducted by Parks Research LLC to assess the impact of the training on intended outcomes. Key deliverables include a detailed schedule, training session reports, data analysis, and presentations summarizing the training results and findings. If the evaluation results support it, SCSO plans to integrate MI as a de-escalation practice within their training programs.
