Denver’s STAR program dispatches a behavioral health clinician and a paramedic to people on the street in crisis. We know their budget. We know their operating hours. But we don’t know the results. When Council gets briefed next Wednesday in the Safety Committee, perhaps a member will ask just what Denver gets for its investment. It’s a feel-good program on the surface, but does it work? How many people are helped and how precisely? How do we measure the program’s effectiveness? (People not going to jail is an insufficient answer—are their behaviors changed?) Do frequent flyers receive intervention? Denver Health gets a couple million. For what? Servicios de la Raza’s STAR budget is bigger than the response team. Just what do they do? What are the results?
