A
The
campaign
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
ensure
that
everybody
knows
the
services
that
are
available
to
them
so
that
they
can
get
a
safe
response
when
they're
in
need.
So
there
are
four
pilots
that
we're
working
on.
One
is
the
behavioral
crisis
response
team
that
launched
in
december
a
team
of
mental
health
professionals
responding
to
mental
crises
in
the
city.
The
second
is
training
911
dispatchers
to
better
be
able
to
handle
any
mental
health.
Calls
that
happen
right
then.
A
The
third
is
be
able
to
create
new
opportunities
to
handle
non-emergency
crimes
that
come
in
so
that
they
transfer
over
to
3-1-1,
as
well
as
the
response
to
ensure
that
there's
an
unarmed
response
to
those
issues
and
the
fourth
pilot
will
embed
mental
health
professionals
within
9-1-1.
They
will
work
with
call
takers
and
9-1-1
dispatchers
to
provide
in-the-moment
triage
support
to
people
in
crisis
over
the
phone.
