2. Overall, how would you rate the presenter? (1=Terrible, 5=Excellent):

In this session, participants will learn from a real-world police department initiative that transformed the way chronic homelessness is addressed.

Drawing on 29 years in corrections and law enforcement, including founding the Tampa Police Department Homeless Initiative, Daniel McDonald shares how his team moved beyond arrests to proactive, compassionate interventions.

Attendees will see how data-driven strategies, partnerships with community services, and officer-led outreach can reduce repeat criminal justice involvement while building trust and improving community safety.

The session provides practical tools, templates, and lessons that other agencies can adapt to create lasting change.
