Training for a long-touted crisis-intervention team in Nashville began this week for 16 Metro Nashville Police Department officers and six mental health counselors.
The city already has a mobile crisis team but is adding a new approach in which police officers and mental health professionals respond simultaneously to 911 emergencies involving people with mental health issues. I’m totally committed. I’m totally excited you volunteered to be a part of this, Nashville police Chief John Drake told the test team inside a Mental Health Cooperative classroom in Metro Center. Whatever resources we need to put into it, we will.
