The service, alongside the City of Calgary, are currently working together to launch a Mobile Crisis Response Teams pilot project to better respond to 911 calls where a police response is not appropriate. A call went out earlier this week asking for local agencies to work on the project.
“We’ve been engaging extensively with communities. Some 47 partners have been spoken with thus far and they’ve been also invited to comment and co-design this work with us,” said Rashid. “The work and the research report have been validated by our community engagement team. We’re relying on the community expressly as subject matter experts into what the citizens of Calgary want.”Article content
“Is this a crisis response that’s required, where there would be an alternate community lead modality that will be able to serve people experiencing a mental health crisis? Something other than a police response,” said Rashid. “This model is conceived with the expected outcome that will provide better, coordinated, seamless service to individuals in crisis using a trauma-informed lens,” said Rashid. “But it would also empower police officers to not attend causes that do not require emergency services.”
