DETROIT – Police officers respond to a wide variety of calls, and the reality is that they can’t be prepared for every type of situation.
That’s why the Detroit Police Department has announced a co-response team in order to better serve the city. The department is teaming up with the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network in order to tackle the challenges police officers face when it comes to helping people who are facing a mental health crisis.
