APD mental health crisis response
Body
The Alpine Police Department frequently receives multiple mental health calls each day. It is common for family members to contact 911 and report that their son, daughter, father, or mother is experiencing a mental health crisis and request a police officer. These situations require prompt and sensitive responses to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual in crisis. The police department collaborates with mental health professionals and community resources to provide appropriate support and intervention in such cases.
