MAP Data Portal
Please note that all law enforcement and mental health agencies participating in MAP have access to the on-line data portal. County Mental Health Directors have access to that as well. After each Zoom session police officers and mental health clinicians are required to complete a brief questionnaire about the process and outcome of the Zoom session that just occurred. The data portal contains all of that data and can be used for evaluation purposes. If you have lost your password to access the portal, please contact Jordan Sterman (jsterman@ccsi.org). Prior to accessing the data portal for the first time, we strongly suggest that you watch the instructional video.
