IHART - Vallejo Police Department
The Integrated Health and Resource Team (IHART) will be a mobile crisis response unit that will provide trauma-informed crisis response and linkages to mental/behavioral health- and social services-related calls, reducing the role of police and improving outcomes for individuals experiencing crises. VPD hopes to divert 70 percent of 5150 (mental health-related) calls to the unit, removing potential triggers and escalation risks by replacing police with crisis workers, a social worker, and medical professionals to provide linkages to services and individuals with lived experience. IHART will also be equipped to provide referrals to mental health care providers, inpatient referrals, outpatient services, homelessness service providers, shelters and housing navigation, substance abuse disorder providers, and connections to other basic needs, follow up care, and community support.

Straight forward concept
Rather than a logo, I leaned into the acronym. I based iHART off a font, but heavily customized. I felt if the public were to see the van out and about they would be able to quickly identify who they are.
