Cincinnati, OH Alternative Response to Crisis Pilot
In corso
Emergency dispatchers were trained in mental health first aid and used de-escalation efforts with responders en route. This training included rerouting callers to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline on a case-by-case basis. An ARC Response Team staffed by a behavioral health specialist and a Fire Department paramedic replaced police responses for wellness checks. Cincinnati created a dashboard about ARC runs searchable by date, neighborhood, and issue.
Progetto riuscito
Cincinnati approved a six-month extension for the pilot in November 2022. ARC methods responded to 260 emergency calls in the pilot's first four months.
