5th JDC	Regularly communicated about specific issues as they arose
7th JDC	Attended regular meetings and attended conference call planning meetings
12th JDC	Periodic meetings with district attorney and sheriff.
15th JDC	1) The Mental Health-Criminal Justice Collaborative, a subcommittee of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC) in Lafayette Parish, held two structured networking events as a forum to bring together public and private agencies and individuals to learn more about various agencies and their work in this area, in order to develop and strengthen coordination of supports and services. The subcommittee's goal is to develop solutions to reduce the number of individuals entangled within the criminal justice system. Providers have agreed to work toward expediting qualification for Medicare/Medicaid funding to provide treatment rather than incarceration. This resulted in a more appropriate solution for the offender and also reduces jail population. 2) Educational sessions were scheduled to provide Crisis Intervention Training for law enforcement, to help officers identify situations involving mentally ill individuals. 3) CJCC participated in Lafayette PD's initial Police Community Relations Committee, including the Community Pep Rally held in June.
22nd JDC	Judges participated in all subcommittees of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee.
23rd JDC	The court set meetings with partners as needed, but does not have formal committees

31st JDC	The court implemented a written memo to confirm agreements.
34th JDC	The court regularly met with the clerk of court, district attorney, and the sheriff to communicate, coordinate and cooperate on all matters relating to judicial resource needs and to any issues relative to the court system.
36th JDC	Identified key contacts and shared additional contact information (cell and e-mail)
38th JDC	Assisted in the development of additional tools for self-represented litigants through the SRL Committee.
