🌟 National Co-Responder and Crisis Responder Week 🌟

This week, National Co-Responder and Crisis Responder week, the Police Department proudly recognizes our PATH (Police Assisted Therapeutic Help) Program and the incredible work of our co-response and community response teams. Our PATH team is the bridge between law enforcement and community support, bringing expertise, empathy, and resources where they’re needed most.

The PATH Program provides a strong and compassionate response to the behavioral health needs in our community. Our Crisis Intervention Team, made up of Officer Gina Scanlon, patrol shift officers, and clinician Krystal, responds directly to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, offering calm, care, and connection in difficult moments. Our Community Response Team, led by clinician Theo and peer specialist Michelle, extends that care through outreach, education, and ongoing support for our neighbors. Both teams work closely with community partners to extend their service and connect community members with the resources and help that best fit their needs and situation.

Co-responders like Krystal, Theo, and Michelle embody qualities of compassion, collaboration, and resourcefulness. They bring calm in chaos, hope in hardship, and build trust between police and the community. By pairing officers with clinicians and peer specialists, we are able to support individuals in crisis with the right care at the right time, strengthen our officers with professional mental health expertise, and ensure a safer, healthier community for all.

We are deeply grateful for the dedication of our PATH team and proud to honor their service during National Co-Responders Week. 💙
