Abstract
Social work is a profession that engages in interprofessional work with a growing interest in the field of policing. This qualitative report is a secondary analysis offering insights and practical considerations for social work clinicians interested in working with law enforcement as an integrated or embedded clinician. Guided by a social constructivist and self-efficacy theoretical lens, the study analyzed 35 in-depth interviews with participants across 13 states. The analysis identified three key themes: experience matters, multifaceted challenges and complex work environments, and personal preparation. These findings provide valuable information for clinicians considering this field, highlighting the importance of prior experience, the challenging nature of the work, and the need for thorough preparation that may not be offered or standard within the work environment. The study underscores the significance of these factors in ensuring social workers' preparation and effective collaboration with law enforcement, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes in community policing efforts and responsive approaches to addressing community crisis needs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
