Mobile Police officers went through different live-action simulations to learn how to respond to different mental health episodes.
) -Back in May, seven Mobile Police officers along with AltaPointe spent a week in Harris County, Texas learning techniques for responding to mental health issues. Officers went through different live-action simulations to learn how to respond to different mental health episodes.
That new perspective was put to the test about two weeks ago when a man barricaded himself in a home on Nack Lane and threatened to kill police officers who responded. That gave officers a better understanding of the situation before a clinician from AltaPointe arrived on scene. Dr. Cindy Gipson says officers did have to enter the house, but the training led to the patient getting help instead of going to Metro Jail.
It’s an intense first run for the program but Commander Curtis Graves says it’s the perfect outcome for a scenario like this.
