As communities rethink *who* responds to nonviolent 911 calls, "careful triage, clear dispatch rules, and strong backup protocols are essential so the system does not leave callers hanging or slow down urgent responses."
We’re glad to see @Hoodline highlight our data-driven, cross-system best practices for triaging 911 calls. 🔗 in 🧵

This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we highlighted how states, communities & the justice system can safely connect more people to care—instead of resorting to incarceration.
When that happens, our communities are safer & healthier.

Sometimes, crisis response starts w/ helping people secure basic needs like food, water, or socks—and ends w/ connecting people to care instead of incarceration.
That’s what Denver does, and in *tens of thousands* of 911 calls, there have been *zero* reported injuries to responders.
Ex-@DenverPolice Chief Paul Pazen & @estevens0845, who appeared on HBO’s “Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops,” sat down to talk about this new approach: hubs.la/Q04gh7yf0

States that want to invest in care—not just incarceration—must address the shortage of addiction counselors, mental health counselors, and psychologists.
Without action, it will only get worse.
