Public safety results from an effective interaction of three separate systems - public health, mental health, and policing. In too many communities today, the crisis in our mental health system creates the perfect storm. Solving the issues of silo-based care necessitates creating an oversight data management structure supporting cross-sector data integration on all levels ensuring that both operational and technical frameworks exist to maintain the security of client data. Safer communities isn't just about being sophisticated, technologically advanced but using an intensifying laser-focus analysis on harmful criminality, and on stakeholders responsible for delivering to those in need of mental health services. The recommendations note that no one agency can solve the crisis in public safety alone. There is an urgent need for one new coordinating agency - a department in government - to eliminate the silos and act like a well-coordinated and effective service delivery network, with public commitment to outcomes and corresponding public accountability.
公共安全是公共卫生、心理健康和警务三个独立系统有效互动的结果。在当今太多的社区中，精神健康系统的危机造成了完美风暴。解决基于孤岛的护理问题需要创建一个监督数据管理结构，支持各级别的跨部门数据集成，以确保存在运营和技术框架来维护客户数据的安全性。更安全的社区不仅关乎技术先进，还要对有害犯罪行为以及负责向需要心理健康服务的人提供服务的利益相关者进行强化的重点分析。建议指出，没有一个机构可以单独解决公共安全危机。迫切需要一个新的协调机构——政府部门——来消除孤岛，并像一个协调良好且有效的服务交付网络一样运作，对结果做出公开承诺，并承担相应的公共责任。
