Hancock allocated $1.4M in the city's 2021 budget to fund an expanded program, and program administrators are seeking a matching grant from Caring for Denver.

Outreach Case Coordinators The Denver Police Department created the Outreach Case Coordinator (OCC) program with the goal of improving long-term outcomes for individuals following the initial crisis response. Coordinators provide follow-up services for individuals and families who were initially contacted by police officers. The DPD case managers are assigned to the six police districts and the Special Operations Response Team. Since the program began in July 2020, the OCCs have assisted more than 1,300 individuals and families by connecting them to a wide variety of resources such as housing, government assistance, employment navigation, navigating health systems, disability services, and much more.
