Hudson Valley Officers Respond to Man in Car Threatening to Blow Himself Up
Several local departments bravely and quickly sprang into action to a disturbing 911 call on Main Street in Beacon on Sunday Morning.
Over the past year several police agencies have worked towards reform and making changes in their practices. One change that we ve seen is hiring mental health professionals to assist officers during a crisis. Departments all over the country have been taking these new steps but we ve also seen these changes locally too. The Beacon Police Department notably hired a mental health professional recently.
According to a press release shared on the City of Beacon Police Department s Facebook page, officers from the City of Beacon responded to a call regarding a man who claimed he was on his vehicle covered in gasoline armed with a gun and explosives early Sunday morning. Police say that the man threatened to use the weapons if anyone got too close to the man.
