Gov. Northam signs Marcus Alert into law, creating statewide alert system for people experiencing mental health crisis Office of Gov. Ralph Northam By: Web Staff and last updated 2020-12-16 20:04:06-05 RICHMOND, Va. - Gov. Ralph Northam ceremonially signed legislation Tuesday creating the Marcus Alert, a statewide mental health alert system to make sure behavioral health experts are involved in responding to people in crisis, including by limiting the role of law enforcement. The law is named to honor Marcus-David Peters, a high school biology teacher who was killed by a police officer in Richmond while experiencing a behavioral health crisis in 2018.

Just before the confrontation, Peters had struck several cars with his vehicle, then ran onto Interstate 95 during heavy rush-hour traffic. The officer, who also was Black, pointed a stun gun at Peters, who then ran toward him, shouting and threatening to kill him. The officer deployed the stun gun, which appeared to have no effect, and then shot Peters with his service weapon. Blanding lobbied for a law that would give mental health professionals the lead role when police are called to respond to people in crisis. But she said the law passed by the General Assembly and signed by Northam doesn t go far enough and is not what she envisioned. She said previously that she believes the law should have included language that police should only be allowed to use nonlethal methods of restraint on people in crisis.
