Receive draft report on Community Crisis Response Program model options
In Plain English
The city hired Urban Strategies Council to design a program that sends non-police responders to low-level 911 calls involving mental health crises. The city allocated $1 million for startup costs, but full implementation could cost $2.8 to $3.4 million per year. The program aims to reduce police responses to behavioral health calls and connect residents to community services instead.
