High Risk Management Initiative (HRMI)
The High Risk Management Initiative (HRMI) is a three year pilot project that is in the early stages of development to identify and manage Calgary's serious high risk domestic violence offenders.
Working with representatives from Crown, the Calgary Police Service Domestic Conflict Unit, HomeFront, Probation, AADAC, Forensic Assessment and Outpatient Services (FAOS), and Calgary and Area Child and Family Services Authority, the HRMI provides risk assessment and management at the key decision points in family violence cases where legal, clinical, mental health, substance abuse and victim safety issues are evaluated and intervention is determined.
Currently, the number of offenders selected for supervision through this initial pilot project is limited. The hope is with funding thanks in part to the Alberta Government Safe Communities Innovation Fund, who recently announced $1.2 million towards this initiative, the project will expand into a sustainable coordinated community-justice program.
