WSU criminal justice and criminology graduate and doctoral students are partnering up with the Pullman Police Department to devise a mental health field response program.
Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins said the intended outcome is to combine law enforcement officers with mental health professionals to better resolve mental health calls.
