CORE Reaches New Milestones in 2021 Harris County’s award-winning Clinician and Officer Remote Evaluation (CORE) program expanded beyond the HCSO in 2021. The eight Harris County constable offices, the Harris County Fire Marshall’s Office, and the Baytown and Houston Police Depart‐ ments joined. The Metro Police Department is interested in joining in 2022. Additionally, the program has been replicated in jurisdic‐ tions across the state and nation, including Grand Traverse County, MI; Travis County, TX; Plano, TX; and upstate New York. The program connects a behavioral health clinician with a patrol deputy and/or mental health consumer in the field using a computer tablet.
