A pilot partnership between the Utica Police Department and the Neighborhood Center s Mobile Crisis Assessment Team to respond to mental health calls has officially launched.
Officials made the announcement Thursday morning at Martin Luther King Jr. Dream Park on South Street in Utica. Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri noted the park has been the site of several past mental health calls. It s always been more reactive than proactive, he said of law enforcement s response to such calls.
The year-long pilot program, which officially began April 26, tasks a Utica police officer and an MCAT social worker with responding to mental health calls.
