With this training and certification, officers will be better equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and tools necessary to respond appropriately to calls of individuals in crisis that might have underlying health issues, ultimately working to de-escalate potentially harmful situations, find the individuals the support and treatment they need, and keep them from repeat cycling in and out of the jail and judicial system.
