Mental health database launched for first responders
HENRY COUNTY, Va. – A new database will keep Henry County and Martinsville citizens and first responders safer in an emergency.
JR Powell, the dispatch director for the Martinsville-Henry County 911 Center, said law enforcement doesn’t always know what to expect on a 911 call. They also don’t always know when someone’s having a mental health crisis, which can be dangerous for the citizen and the first responder.
