Some advocates have seen the need in their communities to launch a comprehensive campaign or a new organization to address criminal justice issues. Such dedicated efforts can offer a powerful locus of energy and expertise to urge reform in multiple communities.
Example: Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement, Inc. (CABLE)
Launched in 2003, CABLE is a grassroots organization of community members and police officers dedicated to enhancing officer and community safety. One of CABLE's central goals is to build collaboration between law enforcement and community organizations, particularly mental health providers. CABLE helps local police departments develop partnerships with their local mental health providers, helps to coordinate CIT training across the state, and provides other support services to police departments. CABLE's promotion of CIT is coordinated with Connecticut NAMI.
