Background:
State law requires law enforcement agencies to provide POST-approved training on mental health, crisis response, community relations, suicide prevention, and related topics. HCSO previously met these requirements under Agreement PR00007305 with Community Growth Solutions, which ends in June 2026.
In 2024, HCSO entered Agreement PR00006130 with Wellness That Fits, LLC for wellness services including on-site support, assessments, counseling, a 24-hour contact line, and critical-incident response. Amendment 1 extends the agreement through May 31, 2028, increases the NTE by $450,000, and adds the POST-mandated training functions previously provided under Agreement PR00007305, ensuring continuity and compliance.
This resolution seeks approval to:
1. Extend the agreement through May 31, 2028;
2. Increase the NTE by $450,000; and
3. Expand the scope to include services from Agreement PR00007305.
Under the amended scope, Wellness That Fits will provide DPS-approved 30-hour Peer Support Team Training (including Mental Health First Aid and ASIST) and POST-approved mandated training covering all required learning objectives.
