We are happy to announce that Kallie Montagano has rejoined the Franklin Police Department as our sole mental health clinician.

In 2018 the FPD first partnered with the Jail Diversion Program which brought a mental health clinician to the department. As part of the grant-funded program, we shared a clinician with the Medway Police Department. Kallie was our first clinician with the program. Over time Kallie left us (she got promoted) and we had new clinicians fill her spot.
In July 2023, Chief Lynch brought Kallie back as our sole clinician, independent from the Jail Diversion Program. She is running the Franklin Police Department Co-Response Program. Part of her responsibilities includes providing immediate, on-scene crisis response alongside officers, rapid on-scene de-escalation, mental health assessments, substance use assessments, and referrals to services.
Kallie’s goal is to keep people in the community with a solid foundation of support. If you need her services or know someone who could benefit from her services, don't hesitate to reach out!
