The Culpeper Police Department Co-Responder Program, a critical initiative designed to bridge the gap between law enforcement and mental health services, has seen its final days as challenges between agencies
The Culpeper Police Department announced Friday the departure of both of the department‘s co-responders, which were embedded mental health professionals.
Culpeper and its surrounding counties are one of several pilot sites for the program. The region has implemented a new dispatch system and police and mental health responders are working together more than ever before. But there simply aren't enough behavioral health specialists to get police completely out of the picture.
