Livonia Police Chief Curtis Caid is optimistic of what embedding two social workers into the department would mean. "I am confident this is going to be a great program for our community," he said. "I think this will also be a program others will seek out for their community." Caid says he's been working to add mental health and crisis experts to the Livonia Police Department, a program now proposed through a partnership with Hegira Health, for years and he hopes to see that idea come to fruition. The social workers would co-respond with officers to crisis situations, respond alone in secure situations and follow-up with those who need it.
