Two deputies are paired with clinicians from Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health for the pilot. Response teams received 40 hours of training on the most common mental health situations found in 911 calls. Each deputy arrives at the scene and evaluates the situation before requesting a clinician's assistance. The participating clinicians patrol local streets for quick responses to teammates in need of evaluations, short-term care, and referrals.
