Who Should Respond to Mental Health Crisis?

Interviews About Police Response to Mental Health Crisis

Today we continue our series of interviews regarding mental health and the types of first responses available to those in crisis. We interview another person who has a mental, behavioral, or developmental disability about their symptoms, their experiences with police when they were suffering a crisis, and whether they support a police response to mental/behavioral/developmental crisis.

Just as a reminder, in Illinois, a law called the Community Emergency Services & Support Act, or CESSA, requires that all mental/behavioral/developmental emergency calls for service that are nonviolent & noncriminal are responded to by alternative first responders (this is a non-police model).
