SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) BART Police have announced a new plan to increase the number of crisis intervention specialists at stations throughout their system.
The plan, discussed at the BART Board of Directors meeting on Thursday, is an expansion of a program first announced last year under the newly formed Progressive Policing and Community Engagement Bureau.
In total, BART Police plan to employ 20 crisis intervention specialists along with 10 other unarmed police ambassadors. The bureau will also include 10 sworn officers.
The teams will consist of two crisis specialists and one sworn officer, spread across five different stations in two shifts.
